Mies(1986)

Mies is a documentary portrait of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the architect whose austere vision fundamentally shaped modern design. The film traces his life and philosophy through rare archival footage, including candid moments of Mies himself discussing his approach to form and space. It surveys his landmark buildings—from the Barcelona Pavilion to the Farnsworth House—while exploring his role in designing the Seagram Building through interviews with patron Phyllis Lambert. Leading architects Robert A.M. Stern, Robert Venturi, and Philip Johnson, alongside his former students and historians, assess his enduring legacy and influence on contemporary practice. Essential viewing for anyone seeking to understand the intellectual foundations of twentieth-century architecture and Mies's principle that "less is more.
