GERMAN PAVILION
SPAIN, 1929
Modernism
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
-
As part of the1929 International Exposition in Barcelona Spain, the Barcelona Pavilion, designed by Mies, was the display of architecture’s modern movement to the world.
Mies understood his pavilion simply as a building and nothing more, transforming the pavilion into an inhabitable sculpture.
“Less is more”
With the low roof projecting out over the exterior over 8 slim cruciform pillars and the openness of the pavilion, there is a blurred spatial demarcation beween interior and exterior.
