Ludwig Mies van der Rohe biography

Profile

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s first great work was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. Meis moved to the U.S. in 1937, and the International Style, with Mies its leader, reached its zenith during the next 20 years. Modernist steel-and-glass office buildings influenced by his work were built all over the world over the course of the 20th century.
