From the architect. As part of the 1929 International Exposition in #Barcelona #Spain, the Barcelona #Pavilion, designed by #Mies van der #Rohe, was the display of architecture's #modern #movement to the world. Originally named the German Pavilion, the pavilion was the face of Germany after WWI, emulating the nation’s progressively modern culture that was still rooted in its classical history. Its elegant and sleek design combined with rich natural material presented Mies’ Barcelona Pavilion as a bridge into his future career, as well as architectural modernism. © Jane Gonzalez #fashion #moda #bauhaus
