Introduction

The Mies van der Rohe Pavilion is a modern, one-story building constructed between 1909-1914. Designed by German architect Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona World Exhibition, it was also the venue for the opening ceremony of the German pavilion. The German Pavilion is of great significance in the history of modernist architecture due to its minimalist design and expensive construction materials. The building is relatively small, with glass walls that provide a view of the garden and pool outside, which includes a statue of a beautiful woman.
