Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was one of the fathers of the modern industrial design movement during the 20th century. He served as the final director of the Bauhaus, and his modernist approach is seen in the skylines of most major cities of today.
Mies van der Rohe was known for the saying "less is more" and this preference for a minimalist approach epitomized his design, as he favored steel and simplicity over the traditional ornate styles that had come before.
