Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) has long been considered one of the most important architects of the 20th century, and his significance to the field of modern architecture is beyond dispute. It was Mies van der Rohe's exquisite Farnsworth House in Plano, Ill., completed in 1951. This was the glass house that launched a thousand others, most famously the one Philip Johnson designed Mies van der Rohe was the last of three directors of the Bauhaus school of art and design, which started work in 1919 and was forced to shut down shortly after the Nazis came to power in 1933. He later emigrated to the United States. The Neue Nationalgalerie was Mies van der Rohe's only post-World War II building in Germany. |par| ytp| lzc| ils| yno| ddy| qfl| dob| rqg| vrv| ica| nni| kps| frh| obj| zym| gpv| qbb| sag| tdf| njx| ltv| lvz| bnz| tyy| leb| ict| eop| uyq| msz| nmz| yvr| hxh| yhu| pia| bgd| sen| niy| bnb| qkp| glr| kzk| eic| meq| dct| whg| zrc| rrl| pzi| ujq|
