His “less is more” quotation is
one of the most famous mottos
of 20th-century architecture.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was
the last director of the Bauhaus
and one of the greatest rationalist
architects. His work embodies
balance between full and empty
zones, in livable, rarified spaces,
like the pavilion for the Barcelona
Expo in 1929. For this project, he
designed the famous chair with a
metal structure (whose base is like
an historical throne) and capitonné
cushions: a perfect synthesis
of past, present and future.
Sa phrase « Less is more »
est devenue l’une des plus
célèbres devises de l’architecture
du XXe siècle. Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe a été le dernier directeur
du Bauhaus et l’un de plus grands
architectes rationalistes.
En équilibre entre le plein et
le vide, son travail tissait un
dialogue entre l’intérieur et
l’extérieur, les espaces à vivre et
les lieux de plein air, comme dans
le pavillon qu’il a conçu pour
l’Exposition internationale à
Barcelone en 1929. C’est pour
ce projet qu’il avait créé
le fameux fauteuil à structure
métallique (dont la base évoque
un trône antique) et coussins
capitonnés : une parfaite synthèse
du passé, du présent et du futur.
Il suo “Less is more”
è uno dei più celebri motti
dell’architettura del XX secolo.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe è stato
l’ultimo direttore del Bauhaus
e uno dei più grandi architetti
razionalisti. La sua architettura è
equilibrio tra pieni e vuoti, dialogo
tra interno ed esterno, spazi vivibili
e ariosi, come nel padiglione per
l’Expo di Barcellona del 1929. Per
questo progetto è stata disegnata
la famosa poltrona con struttura
metallica (la cui base ricorda un
trono antico) e cuscini capitonné:
una sintesi perfetta di passato,
presente e futuro.
Sein Leitgedanke „Less is more“
hat die Architektur des 20.
Jahrhunderts entscheidend
geprägt. Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe war der letzte
Bauhausdirektor und einer der
größten Architekten des
Rationalismus. Seine Arbeit
verkörpert das Gleichgewicht
zwischen Fülle und Leere und fand
Ausdruck in wohnlichen,
reduzierten Räumen wie dem
Pavillon, der 1929 für die
Weltausstellung in Barcelona
entstand. Für dieses Projekt
entwarf er seinen berühmten Stuhl
aus Metallgewebe mit
kapitunierten Polstern (dessen
Basis wir ein antiker Thron wirkt):
eine perfekte Synthese der
Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und
Zukunft.
