Ludwig Mies van der Rohe: 125th Birthday
Father of 'less is more' architecture
March 27th, 2012 The steel-and-glass Google
Doodle structure is an homage to German architect Ludwig
Mies van der Rohe. Mies was an advocate of simplicity and
open floor plans.
The architect, who was often known only as “Mies,” used
"modern" materials – industrial steel and glass – to create
the "bones" of interiors, while emphasizing open spaces and
simplicity.
Mies was born in 1886 inAachen,Germanyand,
after a stint in his father’s stone carving business,
traveled to Berlinto
work with architect Bruno Paul. After apprenticing himself
to Peter Behrens, another architect, and working on the
embassy for the German Empire inSt.
Petersburg,Russia,
during his time with Behrens, Mies started his own
architectural firm in Berlin in 1912. He married the next
year.
