Architecture - Mies van der Rohe - 0 views

  • is intended
    fo
  • Mies's style is characterized by a severe simplicity and the
    refinement of its exposed structural elements. Although not the first architect
    to work in this mode, he carried rationalism and functionalism to their ultimate
    stage of development. His famous dictum "less is more" crystallized
    the basic philosophy of mid-20th-century architecture. Rigidly geometrical and
    devoid of ornamentation, his buildings depended for their effect on subtlety of
    proportion, elegance of material (including marble, onyx, chrome, and
    travertine), and precision of details.
