# Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (@ludwig-mies-van-der-rohe)

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American modernist architect and former Bauhaus director. The work is especially associated with structural clarity, open plans, and an exacting use of steel and glass. Major projects include the Barcelona Pavilion, Tugendhat House, and the Seagram Building. A responsible account also considers the International Style and the maxim “less is more”.
