GERMAN PAVILION IN BCN..not to be missed













The Barcelona Pavilion, a work emblematic of the Modern Movement.
It was designed by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe as the German national pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International exhibition.
Materials:
Glass, steel and four different kinds of marble (Roman travertine, green Alpine marble, ancient green marble from Greece and golden onyx from the Atlas Mountains) were used for the reconstruction, all of the same characteristics and provenance as the ones originally employed by Mies in 1929.
