Mies's legacy extends beyond his architectural achievements to his pivotal role in shaping modern urban skylines and influencing generations of architects worldwide. His tenure at the Bauhaus and later in the United States, particularly in Chicago, solidified his reputation as a pioneer of modernism. Despite the rise of Postmodernism, Mies's focus on clean lines and functional spaces continues to inspire, proving his vision to be as influential today as it was a century ago.
