Embracing Minimalism: Applying Mies Van Der Rohe's Principles to Contemporary Design

‍

Mies Van Der Rohe was a renowned modernist architect who believed in the principle of "less is more." His designs were characterized by their simplicity, functionality, and use of clean lines and basic geometric shapes. His work has had a lasting impact on modern architecture, inspiring countless architects to embrace minimalism and functionality.

In my own work as an architect with over 15 years of experience, I have always been drawn to the principles of Mies Van Der Rohe. I believe that good design should prioritize functionality and simplicity, while still creating a visually striking and impactful result. In my designs, I aim to use clean lines, simple shapes, and a neutral color palette to create a timeless and elegant look.

Architecture is not about form, it is about the quality of space. Zaha Hadid

One example of my work that incorporates the principles of Mies Van Der Rohe is a modernist home I designed in Buenos Aires. The home's exterior features a simple, rectangular shape with clean lines and minimal ornamentation. Inside, the home is designed with an open floor plan, with each space flowing seamlessly into the next. The use of large, floor-to-ceiling windows floods the home with natural light and creates a feeling of openness and spaciousness.
