Mies van der Rohe was born on March 27, 1886 in Aachen, Germany, but he emigrated to the US in 1937, where he spent the rest of his life.
He was known for simplicity of his designs; some of his most famous works include the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Martin Luther King library in Washington DC, the Seagram Building in NYC and the National Gallery in Berlin.
Mies van der Rohe is also well-known for his aphorisms, frequently quoted in the context of design and architecture even today: "less is more" and "God is in the details".
