Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German American architect that designed buildings and exhibitions, yet what made Ludwig different from other architectures is that he designed the furniture that was implicated in these structures. He was a designer in the 20th century and designed his products in the modern movement style. Ludwig was one of the most, if not the most influential designer during the 20th century period. He was one of the leading figures in the modern movement; he pushed this movement forward and created products that were highly desirable.

For my collections project, I made my choices based off of my appreciation for the aesthetic values of the pieces. For either their minimalism or their maximalism, something about the works appeals to my sensibilities. The Farnsworth was the first piece I wrote about extensively. After visiting the historic property several years ago, I have been captivated by its remarkable simplicity. The serenity of its setting in tandem with the exquisite design have kept my mind dwelling on Dr.…

heaven. Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe is successful in the same way in his creation of the School of Social Service Administration (SSA) for his portrayal of social work. The building, designed by Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe in the Modernist style, was erected on the campus of the University of Chicago in 1965. The SSA is located…

architecture firm. Here he met Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Two years later he and Adolf Meyer opened their own architecture firm in Berlin. One of the firms greatest contributions still stands today; a shoes form factory made of steel and glass (The German Way). World War 1 put a hold on architectural work while Gropius served in the German military. After the war ended in 1918 he returned to architectural work. A year later he set to combine the Grand…

For example, the mug I use to drink my coffee in this morning or the toilet brush I got at IKEA both are designed with the Bauhaus design principles it is sleek and function, though it doesn’t look like the traditional piece of art. We can even see the Bauhaus methods of design now in the twenty first century being incorporated by graphic design artists into websites and games. Individuals are asking our architects to build sleeker and modern high-rises that are also environmentally friendly.…

Given my concept of forgotten spaces, I intend to design an installation that helps bring life into my forgotten space by making people more aware of their surroundings and enhancing the aesthetic value. The installation will capture and create an aerodynamic atmosphere that encapsulates the idea of the space itself. By doing this, it’s like having one's routine broken up, looking up towards the sky, just changing your perspective for a moment. I want people to experience an incredible…

The founder and the creator of the Bauhaus was Walter Gropius from 1919 to 1928, Hannes Meyer took the lead after Walter from 1928…

building, one must spend time creating a design that can serve its function without the need for overdesigning. The design process required to create such an efficient building might require some serious thinking, which can be very time consuming. Simplicity is about honesty. It is about transparency. A simple structure does not tend to hide any of its elements, such as structural components, instead these elements are usually celebrated, considering they are presumably serving an important…

CCase study 2 The Villa Savoye Highlights of Villa Savoye The Villa Savoye is designed by Le Corbusier in 1927, it is an iconic building and it was defined as a historical monument. It signifies the five points of a new architecture. When constructing the roof garden, horizontal windows and free design of the facade, the reinforced concreted was applied in the design of the Villa Savoye. Therefore, it is studied in this project to learn about its possible design approaches under earthquake…
