Villa Tugendhat

Villa Tugendhat in Brno, Czechia, was designed for Greta and Fritz Tugendhat in 1929–1930. The architect was the German Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969). One the most consequential modernist architects of the 20th century, Mies van der Rohe’s influences can be seen in such Irish buildings as Áras Mhic Dhiarmada/Busáras,and the Bank of Ireland HQ on Baggot Street (now Miesian Plaza) amongst others.
