What is Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. about?

"The utilitarian bias of the age exalts mediocrity, but it has also found room for three architects of genius: Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Wright was the machine as a tool with which to make buildings approximate natural phenomena: skyscrapers like trees, houses like caves, a museum like a shell.. For Le Corbusier technology and art alike deerive from geometric form, valuable for its own sake; for him there is no conflict between art and technology, and the machine is no less refreshing than nature. But Mies has responded differently. He has made art seem rational, as if it were science...If buildings may be judged as embodiments of a viable system of ideas, the buildings of Mies van der Rohe are among the most successful in history." -- beginning page nine of book
