This study aims at analyzing the evolution and spatial characteristics of specific walls that dinstinguish Mies van der Rohe's buildings, by introducing the concept of "the wall as objet" for an analysis tool. The wall as objet signifies that the wall has characteristics as a visual and plastic object. In Mies's works, the wall as objet evolved gradually throughout his architectural career. In its early stage, the wall as objet becomes a visual object, while it functions as an independent element in self-complete form. However, it gradually changes to become a component of the whole rather than a self-complete element. As for its physical properties, while the earlier wall keeps its identity through materiality of the wall itself, characteristics of the objet as a pure image gradually increase, and eventually exclude materiality. This evolution process of dematerialization of the wall as objet is also accompanied by the gradual changes in its spatial characteristics which as a continuous and empty background.
