Y. C. Wong
Yau-chun( Y.C.) Wong( 1921–2000) was a Chinese- born American architect who practiced primarily in Chicago, Illinois.
Wong was born in Canton, Guangdong, China and earned a bachelor's degree in the Department of Architecture, National Central University( now Southeast University School of Architecture) in 1945.
After immigrating to the United States he furthered his study under Ludwig Mies van der Rohe at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago.
In 1951 he earned a master's degree and worked under Mies van der Rohe until 1959 when he started his own practice.
Wong became known for his Atrium Houses during the 1960s.
Georgia van der Rohe
Georgia van der Rohe (born Dorothea Mies; March 2, 1914 – December 10, 2008) was a German dancer, actress, and director.
Johannes Diderik van der Waals
Johannes Diderik van der Waals (23 November 1837 – 8 March 1923) was a Dutch theoretical physicist and thermodynamicist famous for his work on an equation of state for gases and liquids.
His name is primarily associated with the van der Waals equation of state that describes the behavior of gases and their condensation to the liquid phase.
His name is also associated with van der Waals forces (forces between stable molecules), with van der Waals molecules (small molecular clusters bound by van der Waals forces), and with van der Waals radii (sizes of molecules).
As James Clerk Maxwell said about Van der Waals, "there can be no doubt that the name of Van der Waals will soon be among the foremost in molecular science."
In his 1873 thesis, van der Waals noted the non-ideality of real gases and attributed it to the existence of intermolecular interactions.
He introduced the first equation of state derived by the assumption of a finite volume occupied by the constituent molecules.
Spearheaded by Ernst Mach and Wilhelm Ostwald, a strong philosophical current that denied the existence of molecules arose towards the end of the 19th century.
The molecular existence was considered unproven and the molecular hypothesis unnecessary.
At the time van der Waals' thesis was written (1873), the molecular structure of fluids had not been accepted by most physicists, and liquid and vapor were often considered as chemically distinct.
But van der Waals's work affirmed the reality of molecules and allowed an assessment of their size and attractive strength.
His new formula revolutionized the study of equations of state.
By comparing his equation of state with experimental data, Van der Waals was able to obtain estimates for the actual size of molecules and the strength of their mutual attraction.
The effect of Van der Waals's work on molecular physics in the 20th century was direct and fundamental.
By introducing parameters characterizing molecular size and attraction in constructing his equation of state, Van der Waals set the tone for modern molecular science.
That molecular aspects such as size, shape, attraction, and multipolar interactions should form the basis for mathematical formulations of the thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids is presently considered an axiom.
With the help of the van der Waals's equation of state, the critical-point parameters of gases could be accurately predicted from thermodynamic measurements made at much higher temperatures.
Nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, and helium subsequently succumbed to liquefaction.
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes was significantly influenced by the pioneering work of van der Waals.
In 1908, Onnes became the first to make liquid helium; this led directly to his 1911 discovery of superconductivity.
Van der Waals started his career as a school teacher.
He became the first physics professor of the University of Amsterdam when in 1877 the old Athenaeum was upgraded to Municipal University.
Van der Waals won the 1910 Nobel Prize in physics for his work on the equation of state for gases and liquids.
Vazha Lortkipanidze
Vazha Lortkipanidze( born November 29, 1949) is a Georgian politician, former State Minister of Georgia and Ambassador of Georgia to Russia, member of the Parliament of Georgia.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (born Maria Ludwig Michael Mies; March 27, 1886 – August 17, 1969) was a German-American architect.
He was commonly referred to as Mies, his surname.
Along with Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Walter Gropius and Frank Lloyd Wright, he is regarded as one of the pioneers of modernist architecture.
Mies was the last director of the Bauhaus, a seminal school in modern architecture.
After Nazism's rise to power, with its strong opposition to modernism (leading to the closing of the Bauhaus itself), Mies emigrated to the United States.
He accepted the position to head the architecture school at the Armour Institute of Technology (later the Illinois Institute of Technology), in Chicago.
Mies sought to establish his own particular architectural style that could represent modern times just as Classical and Gothic did for their own eras.
He created his own twentieth-century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity.
His mature buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to define interior spaces, as also conducted by other modernist architects in the 1920s and 1930s such as Richard Neutra.
Mies strove toward an architecture with a minimal framework of structural order balanced against the implied freedom of unobstructed free-flowing open space.
He called his buildings "skin and bones" architecture.
He sought an objective approach that would guide the creative process of architectural design, but was always concerned with expressing the spirit of the modern era.
He is often associated with his fondness for the aphorisms, "less is more" and "God is in the details".
Herbert Greenwald
Herbert Greenwald( August 16, 1915 – February 3, 1959) was a Chicago real estate developer who utilized Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the design architect for several landmark modern residential buildings.
Tilly van der Zwaard
Tilly van der Zwaard( 18 January 1938 – 6 February 2019) was a middle distance runner from the Netherlands.
At the 1962 European Athletics Championships in Belgrade she won a bronze medal in the 400 m event, behind Maria Itkina of the Soviet Union and Joy Grieveson of Great Britain.
Van der Zwaard twice represented her native country in the 400 m event at the Summer Olympics, in 1964 and 1968.
Her best achievement was sixth place in 1964.
She was born Mathilda Catrina van der Zwaard.
On 25 November 1964 she married Ger van der Made and changed her name to van der Made -van der Zwaard.
After divorce she dropped van der Made from her name.
She died in February 2019.
