Mies Van der Rohe - German Pavilion , Barcelona 1929. - satendra - 08-27-2014

German Pavilion , Barcelona 1929.

One of his greatest designs came the following year in the German Pavilion in Barcelona in 1929.

Mies united sophisticated materials with a fluid open plan, which together endowed the space with an unprecedented modern elegance.

The architecture's mass is balanced by a pond (featuring a sculpture by Georg Kolb) and a shallow pool on either end.

The Pavilion was innovative in that the design called for the roof to be supported by chrome columns which meant that the walls could be freely positioned since they did not support the structure.
