Some Links About Mies Van Der Rohe

I'm doing a brochure for the work of Mies Van Der Rohe. In addition to some pictures of his work, I need to write some text (about 150-200 words) and have some credible sources. Here are some links I'm going to use.

*****

This provides a nice and short biography on Mies Van Der Rohe and provides some names of his famous works.

*****

A description of a specific design of his.

Some more biographical information which seems to have a simple and precise description of his unique and innovative style.

I also need a phrase to put under his name. I think I'll use either "God Is In The Details" or "Less Is More". I think less is more will be what I finally use, but I may change my mind.
