"Less is More" - Mies van der RoheLudwig Mies van der Rohe, commonly known as Mies, was a German-American architect who was known as one of the modern day architecture pioneers alongside with Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius.
Much like the designers in the classical, neoclassical, and gothic eras, Mies had created a style which suited his era, the modern day era, and used modern day materials to justify the style.
