Barcelona Pavilion architect : Mies van der Rohe
Building Description:
The Barcelona Pavilion building is for many architects their favourite
building in the World. It is pure poetry, simple honest planes of
stone with slim, graceful polished steel cruciform columns. The integration
of water through two shallow pools brings calmness and reflection.

Mies 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
with space flowing around it. The majority of the building is constructed
out of cream-coloured travertine which gives the building a luxurious
feel and aids the perception of spaciousness.
