Germany commissioned Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich to create a space to represent the nation at the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. Once the event was over, the Pavilion was dismantled but never forgotten – rather, it was turned into a benchmark that has not only been deeply influential for generations of architects and artists, but laid the foundations of modern architecture. The extreme purity of its forms, its sobriety, the linear interplay between interiors and exteriors, the precise contrasts in the palette of materials exquisitely chosen and brought from the Alps, Tivoli, Atlas and Tinos all combine to form a perfect balance in this jewel of modern architecture, whose reconstruction (1986) allows us to enjoy it today.
