Mies Van Der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (27 March 1886 – 17 August 1969) was one of the most influential architects of the 20th century and the most permanent architectural style of the era. Best known for his role in the development of a modernism. Mies' career began in Aachen, Germany, in Peter Behrens' influential studio. There, Mies worked with two other modernist giants, Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier. Mies' minimalist style has been popular for almost a century. His famous maxim "less is more" is still widely used by those who do not know its origin.
Mies began developing this style in the 1920s, combining the functionalist industrial concerns of contemporary contemporary people with the aesthetic pursuit of minimal intersecting planes-he is a tradition of confined spaces. Rejected the system and relied heavily on glass to blur the boundaries between spaces and out. The last decade was characterized by the proposal of the Friedrichstraße skyscraper in 1921. This is an unrealized all-glass tower that cemented his fame in the avant-garde of architecture, the German Pavilion of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition (well known as the Barcelona Pavilion), which he is. Is one of the most famous and most popular works of.
In 1930, Mies took over the leadership of the Bauhaus (founded by founder Walter Gropius and most relevant school) from Hannes Meyer and served as its principal until 1933, when pressure from the Nazi government forced it to close. .. In 1932, Mies' work laid the foundation for the "International Style" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, curated by Philip Johnson and Henry Russell Hitchcock. Not only did this exhibition strengthen Mies' role as a leader in the modernist movement, but it also brought the movement itself closer to a wider and more international audience.
