Entre sus obras destacan el Pabellón de Alemania para la Exposición Internacional de Barcelona (1929); la casa Tugendhat (1930); la casa Farnsworth (1946); el Crown Hall (1956) o la Neue Nationalgalerie de Berlín (1968). También contribuyó en el diseño de mobiliario, con la famosa silla Barcelona (que diseñó para la misma exposición que el pabellón) o la silla MR.
Se le considera uno de los maestros más importantes de la arquitectura moderna, ya que su legado dejó nuevos cánones para la arquitectura bajo sus tan conocidos lemas "Menos es más" y "Dios está en los detalles".

Today we are discovering a bit more of Mies Van Der Rohe, a German architect who was one of the greatest architects of the 20th century, also with Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright. His beginnings were oriented towards a more neoclassical architecture, but with the years, his travels and the contact with other architects, he went to a new industrial and modern style, with simple and clean forms and appreciating the beauty of materials. He was director of the Bauhaus, famous school of crafts, design, art and construction, until he moved to the United States due to the situation in Germany. There he acquired a notable fame thanks to his great work.
His works include the German Pavilion for the International Exhibition of Barcelona (1929); The Tugendhat house (1930); The Farnsworth House (1946); The Crown Hall (1956), the Seagram Building of New York (1958) or the Neue Nationalgalerie of Berlin (1968). He also contributed to furniture design, with the famous Barcelona chair (which he designed for the same exhibition as the pavilion) or the MR chair.
He is considered one of the most important figures of modern architecture. He left new canons for the architecture under his well-known "Less is more" and "God is in the details".
