Here we are looking at the work of Mies Van Der Rohe in three periods and we also touch on Charles and Ray Eames and what other designers are doing in the same period.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was a German-American architect. The architect responsible for the dictum "Less Is More," He is commonly referred to and was addressed as Mies, his surname.
Here are I collect some information about architect Mies Van Der Rohe's life, philosophy, type of work, details of some of her notable works. And tried to discuss his involvement with modern architecture.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies; March 27, (1886 – August 17, 1969) was a German-American architect. He was commonly referred to as Mies, his surname. Along with Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture. Mies was the last director of the Bauhaus, a seminal school in modern architecture. After Nazism's rise to power, with its strong opposition to modernism (leading to the closing of the Bauhaus itself), Mies emigrated to the United States. He accepted the position to head the architecture school at the Armour Institute of Technology (later the Illinois Institute of Technology), in Chicago
He worked in his father's stone carving shop and at several local design firms before he moved to Berlin, where he joined the office of interior designer Bruno Paul. He began his architectural career as an apprentice at the studio of Peter Behrens from 1908 to 1912, where he was exposed to the current design theories and to progressive German culture. He worked alongside Le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, who was later also involved in the development of the Bauhaus. Mies served as construction manager of the Embassy of the German Empire in Saint Petersburg under Behrens.
Ludwig Mies renamed himself as part of his transformation from a tradesman's son to an architect working with Berlin's cultural elite, adding "van der" and his mother's maiden name "Rohe" (the word mies means "lousy" in German and using the Dutch "van der", because the German form "von" was a nobiliary particle legally restricted to those of genuine aristocratic lineage. He began his independent professional career designing upper-class homes.
sought to establish his own particular architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras. He created his own twentieth-century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity. His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces, as also conducted by other modernist architects in the 1920s and 1930s such as Richard Neutra. Mies strove toward an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of unobstructed free-flowing open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought an objective approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, but was always concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era. He is often associated with his fondness for the aphorisms, "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Peter Behrens, (born April 14, 1868, Hamburg—died Feb. 27, 1940, Berlin), architect noted for his influential role in the development of modern architecture in Germany.
All along, from Bauhaus to Farnsworth to the Seagram's building, Mies & Eames were consistently developing and defining a designer's modernist vocabulary that worked it's way into the 2 and 3 dimensional language of the 2nd half of the century.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

German Pavilion , Barcelona 1929
Mies united sophisticated materials with a fluid open plan, which together
endowed the space with an unprecedented modern elegance.

Georg Kolb) and a

The Pavilion was innovative in that the design called for the roof to be
supported by chrome columns which meant that the walls could be freely
positioned since they did not support the structure
It was later dismantled
but rebuilt in the
1980’s

Tugendhat house
Brno , Czechoslovakia 1930
Mies dealt with the extreme slope by dividing the front and back of the house
into public and private facades. Facing the street, the building is only one
story, but it's two stories on the garden side. The home's decor boasted
several of Mies finest pieces of original furniture, including the Brno chair,
the Tugendhat chair, and the X coffe

1937 marks the departure of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from Germany due to
rising pressure from the Nazi party. Before leaving however he was offered a
professorship at the Armour Institute of Technology in Chicago. This would
later become the Illinois Institute of Technology and Mies would be the prime
architect for the campus of the newly formed school.

In 1944 Mies van der Rohe became a U.S. citizen. In 1946 he began work on
the Farnsworth House a weekend retreat for doctor Edith Farnsworth. It’s one
of the most minimalist houses ever designed being composed of a transparent
box framed by eight exterior steel columns with a single room subdivided by
partitions and completely enclosed in glass.

It—two parallel planes held in
suspension between the earth and
sky by only eight steel columns—
seems simple, but Mies worked
through 167 drawings to come to his
final, fearless design.

LAKE SHORE DRIVE APARTMENTS
Illinois, 1948-51
Finally design would merge with
construction and much of the
work that Mies had begun in the
20’s would come to fruition. His
first project being the Lakeshore
Apartment Buildings in Chicago.
The scheme consists of two
identical 26-story towers placed
46 feet apart with their long axes
set perpendicular to each other.
While each building alone is
symmetrical, comprised of 21’
square bays (5 across, 3 deep)
with a total of 288 apartments,

form and function . The first
floor of the building rested on
plithes giving the building
integration with the outdoors.

a structural role fits

Mies van der Rohe was plagued by arthritis for the majority of his
later life. Although involved to the best of his ability Ludwig would
never see the completion of the National Gallery. He died in Chicago,
August, 17, 1969
He died leaving a legacy of revolutionary architecture. Other
then the buildings themselves he is remembered by his
approach to architecture, categorized by such sayings as:
“
“God is in the details.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space.
Thoughts in action.
Mies van der Rohe

“Let us guide our students…
from materials, through function to creative work…
We must understand the motives and forces of our time
and analyze their structure from three points of view:
the material, the functional, and the spiritual.”
- MIES van der ROHE (1938)
“Form is not the aim of our work, only the result.”
- MIES van der ROHE
“ Economic, technical and cultural conditions have changed radically.”
