When I was a child, my nickname was Miss Ludwig. When he was young, he worked in his father's sculpture shop and later moved to Berlin to join Bruno Paul's studio. Then from 1908 to 19 12, Miss worked in the design studio in Peter Behrens for four years. Peter Behrens's working environment influenced his views on whether the design theory of that era could be combined with German culture.
When I was young, Miss was already a cautious and silent thinker. After he discovered that he had some design talents, he decided to add the surname of Van der Rohe to his original name, and abandoned the original common words such as Maria and Michelle. The spelling of the surname Van der Rohe is to imitate the surname of a nobleman.
After changing his name, he started his architectural design career. German traditional architecture and interior design of German upper class. At that time, he admired karl friedrich schinkel, the architect of neoclassicism. In particular, Carl's usual design method of wide proportion and cubic capacity, as well as the patchwork and eclectic classical space configuration, make Miss feel that this is a turning point in an architectural century.
Like Corbusier, Mies worked with the famous architect Peter Behrens in1908-1911and learned a lot from it. Later, he adopted the style of Bauhaus School of Architecture and inherited the style left by walter gropius.
The German Pavilion built by Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona World Expo only existed for five months and did not attract much attention. However, it was demolished for 25 years and was regarded as a masterpiece. It was rebuilt in Barcelona on 1985-86. 1937 moved to the United States, 1938- 1958 served as the head of the architecture department of Amor College in Chicago (later renamed Illinois Institute of Technology).
