Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

German, 1886-1969. The famous architect Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe was born in Germany. In his work, his quadratic lines were created gracefully and with a simplicity that characterized the International Style. He was commonly known as Mies before moving to Berlin in 1905, where he worked in his father's stone atelier. He did not have any professional architectural schooling. He began his training when he was only 15 years old with many German architects.

Ludwig also designed several architectural decorations. This work honed his linear sketching skills, which he would later utilize to create one of the most beautiful architectural renderings of his time. He earned his first contract when he was 21 years old. His flawless workmanship astonished Peter Behrens, the top german innovative architect of his time. Peter promised Mies a position at his firm in 1907. Mies was a member of numerous modernist architectural organizations during the period, and he hosted many exhibits. In 1937, when Mies arrived in the US after primarily working on projects that had never been completed. He got a position at Chicago's Armour Institute in the Architecture school as the director shortly after his arrival in the nation. In 1958, by the time of retirement after 20 years, the academy had gained international acclaim for both its teaching techniques and its school premises which were designed by him.
