An interpretation of Mies van der Rohe's German Pavilion in Barcelona, a masterpiece of modern architecture.publiarq.com
The German Pavilion erected at the World Exhibition in Barcelona in 1929 was an imposing structure and a prime example of modern architecture. In this book, the author takes a lively and unconventional approach to the building, interpreting the various architectural, historical and cultural aspects surrounding the construction. He examines the physical elements such as the columns, the terrace, the free-standing walls which enclose the pavilion and form a pattern of open and closed spaces. He also considers the aesthetical elements, the noble materials used, its representative qualities and reflecting on how material, structure, space and tradition are integrated into a unity.
The author is Professor at the University for Architecture in Barcelona and specialises in Modernism.publiarq.com
