The first in-depth look at the early career of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe examines Mies's work from the time he arrived in Berlin in 1905 and established his architectural practice there in 1913, until his emigration to the United States in 1938. Mies in Berlin, which includes three hundred drawings, fifteen scale models, video and digital displays, and new photographs of Mies's work by Kay Fingerle and Thomas Ruff, focuses on facets of Mies's career that have been previously neglected in considering Mies as an International Style architect.
