Ludwig Mies van der Rohe gets Google Doodled today...

If you have an architectural mind, then the Google Doodle today is for you.

It pays tribute to the 126th birthday of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, widely regarded as one of the pioneering masters of architecture.
Google used a rendering of the S.R. Crown Hall at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, Illinois (one of Mies van der Rohe's masterpieces), within which they embedded the coloured lettering of the Google logo.

Clever stuff guys.
