This study focuses Mies van der Rohe’s search for Romantic Legacy and its influence. For the purpose, the romantic ideas as sources of his inspiration toward modernity are discussed largely: in Universal thoughts, above all, his religious philosophical idea of Panentheism, as well as such an influence of Romantic Education are looked at, that is, the characteristics of Mies’ designs through the influence of Froebel as a romantic educational thought which gives him a training that makes to exchange the idea for a visual representation. Ultimately, an insistence that such religious philosophical backgrounds fundamentally make him see his ‘unity’ of the opposites and create his ‘universal’ discourse. As it were, a study for romantic legacies are indispensable to an existential struggle for a new human’s free-will toward modernity, especially, for the individual’s artistic volition as the case of Le Corbusier; in the same context, the meaning of ‘dwelling’ for Mies are indispensable to the ‘self’ in the existential meaning. Ultimately, this study argues that not only the exposed aspects of so-called the ‘rational’ but also the ‘irrational’ hidden other side opposite to the general understandings that Mies’ designs are recognized so-called a result of rationalism, furthermore commercial capitalism after his immigrating to the United States.
