The Barcelona Pavilion
Key:Spain | Exhibition




























项目概况:
the barcelona pavilion (german pavilion), designed by ludwig mies van der rohe of one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture, was the german pavilion for the 1929 international exposition in barcelona, spain. in 80’s, the building was reconstructed at its original site. it covers an area with length of 50 meters and width of 25 meters and constituted by one hall, two affiliated buildings, two water polls and several walls. except few chairs and desks, the pavilion is almost bare, which shows the building itself was to become the exhibit. the barcelona pavilion is one of the firstly results of modern architecture. this lack of accommodation enabled mies to treat the pavilion as a continuous space; blurring inside and outside. another unique feature of this building is the exotic materials mies chooses to use. plates of high-grade stone materials like veneers of tinos verde antico marble and golden onyx as well as tinted glass of grey, green, white, as well as translucent glasses perform exclusively as spatial dividers. the built barcelona pavilion fully shows mies’s concept "less is more" and the rich art effects by the new materials and new construction methods.
