Ludwig mies van der rohe (/mi s/ mees; german: [mi s]; born maria ludwig michael mies; March 27, 1886 august 17, 1969) was a german-american architect. [1] he is commonly referred to and was addressed as mies, his surname. Along with le corbusier, walter gropius and frank lloyd wright, he is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture. Mies, like many of his post-world war i contemporaries, sought to establish a new architectural style that could represent modern times just as classical and gothic did for their own eras. He created an influential twentieth- century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces.
