Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

He was born March 27, 1886 in Aachen. In 1905 after have finished his studies he moved to Berlin where he remained until 1907 working as an apprentice in the architectural studio of Bruno Paul. From 1908 until 1911 he worked as an assistant to Peter Bahrens. In 1912 he designed a house, never built, for the Hague collector, Koeller. In the same year he opened his own architectural firm in Berlin which he kept until 1937. Originally oriented toward the classicism of Schinkel, immediately after the first world war he conceived a personal view which sublimated "engineering" influenced architecture, which had a revolutionary influence on the construction of the period. The more audacious of the steel and glass buildings designed during the 20s were never realized. Mies Van der Rohe belonged to the avant-guarde group "Novembergruppe" which also had painters and sculptors as members, all dedicated to cultural renovation. In 1925 he was among the founders of the architectural association "Der Ring" which intentionally limited members to ten. In 1926 he was nominated second president of the "Deutscher Werkbund" which entrusted him with the general direction for planning and building Weissenhof suburb in Stuggart. The pavillon built in 1929 in Barcelona formulated a statement which became a classic of the theme "construction for exhibition". The "Tugendhathouse" (Brno, 1930) and the spaces decorated for the 1931 Berlin exposition belong to the Bauhaus period. In 1937 he took his first trip to the USA where in 1938 he immigrated. He was asked to direct the Architecture Department of the "Armour Institute" and settled in Chicago. Particulary after the second world war, his outstanding professional activity did not go unnoticed. His principle works after 1945: Buildings for the "Illinois Institute of Technology", skyscraper apartments in Chicago, the Seagram building in New York, a museum in Houston and in Berlin. Numerous honours attested to the worldwide recognition of the importance of his work. He died in Chicago on August 17, 1969.
