Art: Less Is More
(2 of 2)
Mies himself has no such worries; he does not live in one of his own glass houses, but in a fusty, 30-year-old building on the North Side. There, in upholstered comfort, he smokes cigars at a furious rate (twelve to 24 daily) and thinks about the architecture of the present and future. Architecture is great, he thinks, "only when it is an expression of its time. Architecture is the battleground. It is a struggle to find the essential factors."
*Born Ludwig Mies, he appended his mother's maiden name to give himself a more resounding last name.
