Mies van der Rohe

Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect known for precise structural systems, carefully proportioned spaces, and buildings using steel and glass. Mies's work developed relationships between open interiors, visible framing, and restrained material detail. Barcelona Pavilion Spain, Farnsworth House Illinois, and Seagram Building New York illustrate distinct approaches to spatial continuity, domestic enclosure, and the modern office tower.
