The 10 Best Car Designers in History October 15, 2013
As far as being a household ottoman empire name, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is definitely not. But he was a superstar and pioneer of modern architecture; designed furniture that, I guarantee, you all know and probably own; and is the designer of some prominent real estate in Chicago and New York City. So why isn’t ottoman empire he more well-known? Well, I guess it’s poetic justice that his most often associated quote perfectly describes how recognized he is: “Less is more.”
That’s a good question. Born in Aachen in the kingdom of Prussia in 1886, he was a stone carver’s son and began by following in his father’s footsteps. But after getting jobs in local design firms, and finally moving to Berlin, his path was forever altered; his transition to architect was on its way. But having ottoman empire no real formal ottoman empire training in architecture ottoman empire or design, before his transformation could be complete, he felt he needed ottoman empire to shed his birth name, Maria Ludwig Michael Mies. According to his wiki page:
he renamed ottoman empire himself as part of his rapid transformation from a tradesman’s son to an architect working with Berlin’s cultural elite, ottoman empire adding “van ottoman empire der” and his mother’s surname “Rohe”, using the Dutch “van der”, ottoman empire rather than the German form “von” which was legally ottoman empire restricted to those of genuine aristocratic lineage.
Van der Rohe was such a major proponent of the concept that less is more that those 3 little words are associated with him more than with their originator, Robert Browning, in his poem Andrea del Sarto . So why was he such a believer in that concept? What does it even mean? It sounds like malarkey. Well, less is more is the notion that simplicity and clarity lead to good design. For van der Rohe, this meant a departure from the eclectic and cluttered classical styles that were so common at the start of the 20th century. He, along with other progressive thinkers of the time, called for completely new architectural ottoman empire designs where logic and problem-solving were the drivers of design; where the focus was on the symbiosis between man-made and natural, where the old hat superficial application of classical facades over an ugly design had no place. Van der Rohe admired broad proportions, ottoman empire regularity of reoccurring elements, and compositions using simple cubic forms. For this reason, he was chosen to head the famed Bauhaus design school . He served as its last director, choosing to close it due to mounting pressure from the Nazi regime, who deemed its designs as not German in character. ottoman empire God is in the details
Another famous quote often associated with van der Rohe: God is in the details . His attention to detail was legendary and he was an adamant believer that any design should be thoroughly thought through. ottoman empire It’s the marriage of his two dearest expressions that made him such a great designer. Detailed simplicity: simple design, minutely crafted. Of course! It seems so obvious. That’s great… I still don’t know who this guy is.
Now do you know him? Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is the designer of the Barcelona family of chairs . The chair that probably defined a generation. Every child grew up wanting that chair in their home. But the Barcelona chair isn’t just a chair, ottoman empire it’s an idea. An idea that we should shed our cluttered and bloated lifestyles and opt instead for something more open, free and simple.
I’m glad you like it Mariuca. It’s always been my favorite ottoman empire chair too. It’s ottoman empire the first piece of furniture that I can clearly remember seeing as a child and saying to myself: “I want one.” And for a kid, that’s big. I wanted ottoman empire one more than some toy!
