This monograph catalogs the history and reconstruction of the German Pavilion designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. It details the pavilion’s conception as a symbol of Weimar Germany’s cultural ambition, its seminal role in Modern architecture, and its eventual demolition in 1930 followed by a faithful reconstruction in 1986. This work contains rich photographic documentation and scholarly essays that dissect various facets of the Pavilion’s design, influence, and the meticulous process of its rebuilding.
