【正确答案:D】
A. 由Ludwig Mies van der Rohe创建;B. 它的设计理念受二战影响;C. 大部分美国建筑师都与它有关联 ;D. 对美国的建筑风格产生了巨大影响
“The phrase “less is more” was actually first popularized by a German, the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, who like other people associated with the Bauhaus, a school of design, emigrated to the United States before World War II and took up posts at American architecture schools. These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture, but none more so than Mies. ”(“少即是多”一词因以为德国建筑家而流行,他和其他Bauhaus学派的人一样,在二战前来到美国并在美国建筑学校任教。这些设计师对美国建筑进程产生了巨大影响),故答案为D。
文中没有说明Bauhaus是Ludwig Mies van der Rohe创建,设计理念未被提及,也没说大多数美国建筑师都与之有关。
