addressed as Mies, his surname.

Westmount Square

Along with Le Corbusier,Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is widely regarded as
one of the pioneers of modern architecture.
Mies, like many of his post-World War I contemporaries, sought to establish a new
architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical andGothic did for their

own eras. He created an influential 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. He strove toward an architecture with a
minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of free-flowing
open space. He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture. He sought a rational
approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, but he was always
concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era. He is often associated with his
quotation of the aphorisms, "less is more" and
"God is in the details".

sculptor and painter.[1] His work includes

industrialization of Finland during the


first half of the twentieth century and
many of his clients were industrialists;

career, from the 1920s to the 1970s, is


reflected in the styles of his work,
ranging fromNordic Classicism of the
early work, to a rational International
Style Modernism during the 1930s to a
more organic modernist style from the
1940s onwards. His furniture designs
were considered Scandinavian Modern.
[3]

What is typical for his entire career,

however, is a concern for design as a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total


work of art; whereby he together with his first wife Aino Aalto
would design not just the building, but give special treatments to the
interior surfaces and design furniture, lamps, and furnishings and

glassware. The Alvar Aalto Museum designed by Aalto himself, is


located in what is regarded as his home city Jyvskyl.
