Dear Sophie -
MIES VAN DER ROHE is the man.
Among his masterpieces are the Barcelona Pavilion, the Farnsworth House in Illinois, the Seagrams building in New York and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, Germany. Mies was the last director or the Bauhaus upon request by his friend and collegaue Gropius, and had the devastating task of closing the school as the Nazis took control.
He re-setteld in the United States in Chicago where he made important contributions to our education as well as our landscape.
With love,
Mom
