BARCELONA

PAVILION

Type: Exhibition Building

Location: Barcelona, Spain
Year: 1929
Architect: Mies van der Rohe

BARCELONA PAVILION was designed as the German

National Pavilion for the Barcelona International
Exhibition held in 1929.
Barcelona Pavilion is known for its simple form and
its spectacular use of
extravagant materials such as
marble, red onyx and
travertine

The architect Miles Van der Rohe was interested in developing

free flowing space and this is done using walls as planes in
isolation, joined by sliding elements or glass. Thus the wall is
expressed as a single element using the space flowing around it.
The majority of the pavilion building is constructed out of (cream
coloured) travertine which gives the building a luxurious fell and
aids the prospective of spaciousness.
