Mies van der Rohe was a pioneering German architect whose work was at the forefront of the modernist design movement. Mies van der Rohe was the director of the Bauhaus school of art and design from 1930-1933. After leaving Germany he moved to America where he was able to realise his dream of building a skyscraper, something that was not possible in Germany ( in the war years under Hitler’s reign over Germany).
He became the head of an architectural school in Chicago, and continued his work in the USA.
I think every person who reads this will know something of the work of Mies van der Rohe, either by his famous Barcelona chair (commonly seen in black).
Or by his very famous quotes:
“God is in the detail” Mies van der Rohe
Wait for it, this one you will definitely know:
“Less is more” Mies van der Rohe
