The Barcelona Pavilion - Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

About Barcelona

Sants Montjuïc - Parc de Montjuïc

The Barcelona Pavilion was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe as the German National Pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. Surprisingly modern for the time, built with permanent materials as steel, glass, travertine and different kinds of marble, the Pavilion was conceived for the official reception of the German authorities to King Alphonso XIII of Spain, was disassembled in 1930 after the closure of the exhibition. The reconstruction work began in 1983 on its original site, and was finished in 1986.
The Pavilion is considered an emblematic work of modern-movement architecture. The relation in between the interior and exterior space is completely lost. The walls, rectangular planes of marble, glass, and onyx placed vertically or horizontally, freely positioned, make possible that space seems to flow through them. There are almost no corners in the building. The doors are in the form of two halves of an all-glass wall, which rotates about a pivot, and when opened become just another freestanding, parallel glass wall. The ponds, placed also in the interior and exterior with the reflecting images, accentuates the feeling of the global space.
Mies van der Rohe also designed the Barcelona chair especially for the Pavilion, used as thrones by the Spanish royal family, that over the years has become an icon of modern design.
