Mies van der rohe biography.
During the early 1920s, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe pioneered the development of the International Style, leading to it becoming the most important movement of modern architecture.
Rohe biography
Unlike Le Corbusier and other initial supporters of the style, who drifted apart from it in the 1960s, architect van der Rohe stayed entirely committed to the movement for the next 40 years of his career. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s buildings were primary targets for those in the postmodern movement who eventually denounced the International Style.
They did not agree with his “less is more” ideology and wanted to make buildings more ornate, forgetting perhaps that he also insisted that “God is in the details”.
