For instance: the pottery shop was discontinued when the school moved from Weimar to Dessau, even though it had been an important revenue source ; when Mies van der Rohe took over the school in 1930, he transformed it into a private school, and would not allow any supporters of Hannes Meyer to attend it.

Bacardi had architects Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe and Felix Candela design office buildings and a bottling plant for them in Mexico City during the 1950s.

Like many other avant-garde architects of the day, Mies based his own architectural theories and principles on his own personal re-combination of ideas developed by many other thinkers and designers who had pondered the flaws of the traditional design styles.

Once Mies had established his basic design concept for the general form and details of his tower buildings, he applied those solutions ( with evolving refinements ) to his later high-rise building projects.

Although now acclaimed and widely influential as an urban design feature, Mies had to convince Bronfman's bankers that a taller tower with significant " unused " open space at ground level would enhance the presence and prestige of the building.

Lohan, who had collaborated with Mies on the New National Gallery, continued with existing projects but soon led the firm on his own independent path.

But while Mies ' work had enormous influence and critical recognition, his approach failed to sustain a creative force as a style after his death and was eclipsed by the new wave of Post Modernism by the 1980s.

The new design of dark steel and glass, by Gene Summers of C. F. Murphy and Associates ( and formerly of Mies van der Rohe's office ) contrasted markedly with the white look of the structure that had burned down.

The concept of a Glass House set in a landscape with views as its real “ walls ” had been developed by many authors in the German Glasarchitektur drawings of the 1920s, and already sketched in initial form by Johnson's mentor Mies.

Though Mies had emphasized his wish to complete the campus he had begun, commissions from the late 50s onward were given to Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill ( SOM ), prompting Mies to never return to the campus that had changed architecture the world over.

SOM architect Walter Netsch designed a few buildings, including the new library that Mies had wished to create, all of them similar to Mies's style.

By the late 1960s, campus addition projects were given to SOM's Myron Goldsmith, who had worked with Mies during his education at IIT and thus was able to design several new buildings to harmonize well with the original campus.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, one of the founders of modern architecture and the last director of the Bauhaus during its period in Dessau and Berlin was born in Aachen as well.

Mies ' architecture was guided by principles at a high level of abstraction, and his own generalized descriptions of those principles intentionally leave much room for interpretation.

Mies settled in Chicago, Illinois where he was appointed head of the architecture school at Chicago's Armour Institute of Technology ( later renamed Illinois Institute of Technology – IIT ).

Crown Hall is widely regarded as Mies ' finest work, the definition of Miesian architecture.

The house is an embodiment of Mies ' mature vision of modern architecture for the new technological age: a single unencumbered space within a minimal " skin and bones " framework, a clearly understandable arrangement of architectural parts.

In 1958, Mies van der Rohe designed what is often regarded as the pinnacle of the modernist high-rise architecture, the Seagram Building in New York City.

Over the last twenty years of his life, Mies developed and built his vision of a monumental " skin and bones " architecture that reflected his goal to provide the individual a place to fulfill himself in the modern era.

The Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Archive, an administratively independent section of the Museum of Modern Art's department of architecture and design, was established in 1968 by the museum's trustees.

Erich Mendelsohn and Hans Poelzig are other prominent Bauhaus architects, while Mies van der Rohe is noted for his architecture and his industrial and household furnishing designs.

Walter Adolph Georg Gropius ( May 18, 1883 – July 5, 1969 ) was a German architect and founder of the Bauhaus School who, along with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier and Oscar Niemeyer, is widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture.

Two years before the merger, German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe joined the then Armour Institute of Technology to head both Armour's and the Art Institute of Chicago's architecture program.

The campus, roughly bounded between 31st and 35th streets, Michigan Avenue and the Dan Ryan Expressway, was designed by modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, " one of the great figures of 20th-century architecture ", who chaired the IIT School of Architecture from 1938 to 1958.

Before leaving the Academy, Jacobsen also travelled to Germany, where he became acquainted with the rationalist architecture of Mies van der Rohe and Walter Gropius.

Following this abandonment, two of the three pioneers of Modern architecture, Mies Van Der Rohe and Walter Gropius, left Germany for America ( while Le Corbusier stayed in France ).

The De Stijl influence on architecture remained considerable long after 1931 ; Mies van der Rohe was among the most important proponents of its ideas.

It is one of the pioneering prototypes of modern architecture in Europe, and was designed by the German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

IBM Plaza ( right ), by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, is a later example of the clean rectilinear lines and glass of the International style ( architecture ) | International Style, whereas Marina City, ( left ), by his student Bertrand Goldberg, reflects a more sculptural Mid-Century Modern aesthetic.

Tall, skinny glass structures were a goal of modernist architecture since Mies Van Der Rohe proposed a glass skyscraper for Berlin.

In 2001, the Chicago Park District, which owns the structure, faced substantial criticism when it announced plans to alter the stadium by architect Dirk Lohan, the grandson of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, of the Chicago-based architecture firm of Lohan Associates in a joint venture with architect Benjamin T.

The Toronto-Dominion Centre, designed by Mies van der Rohe, the leading architect of the day, would include the tallest building in Canada.

Mies would have preferred the steel frame to be visible to all ; however, American building codes required that all structural steel be covered in a fireproof material, usually concrete, because improperly protected steel columns or beams may soften and fail in confined fires.

After rejecting the original site because of aesthetic reasons, Mies agreed to a quiet site at the narrow side of a wide, diagonal axis, where the pavilion would still offer viewpoints and a route leading to one of the exhibition's main attractions, the " Spanish Village ".

The sculpture also ties into the highly reflective materials Mies used — he chose the place where these optical effects would have the strongest impact ; the building offers multiple views of Alba.

In 1908 the Austrian architect Adolf Loos famously proclaimed that architectural ornament was criminal, and his essay on that topic would become foundational to Modernism and eventually trigger the careers of Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius, Alvar Aalto, Mies van der Rohe and Gerrit Rietveld.

After rejecting a number of design proposals, Lambert turned to the great German / American architect Mies van der Rohe to develop a plan for a complex of buildings that would revolutionize the Toronto landscape.

UNSNA has been criticised as biased by feminist sociologists such as Marilyn Waring and Maria Mies because no imputation for the monetary value of unpaid housework or for unpaid voluntary labor is made in the accounts, even though the accounts do include the " imputed rental value of owner-occupied dwellings " ( the market-rents which owner-occupiers would receive if they rented out the housing they occupy ).
