		The German Pavilion on the 1929 International Exhibition in Barcelona belongs to those buildings of the heroic period of architectural modernism which caught the greatest attention and about which it was most frequently written.
		The wide scope of interest for the Pavilion shown by the critics and the historians of architecture can be clearly seen from the fact that the Spanish theorist Juan Pablo Bonta even tried to formulate the laws of development of architectural critics on the basis of articles written about the Pavilion.
		By enclosing the Pavilion with glass walls filled with water, the architects blur the view to it and thus reverse the process through which the virtual myth was materialized.

	The Mies van der Rohe Pavilion
		The Barcelona Pavilion, a work emblematic of the Modern Movement, has been exhaustively studied and interpreted as well as having inspired the oeuvre of several generations of architects.
		Built from glass, travertine and different kinds of marble, the Pavilion was conceived to accommodate the official reception presided over by King Alphonso XIII of Spain along with the German authorities.
		Masterfully placed at one end of the small pond, the sculpture is reflected not only in the water but also in the marble and glass, thereby creating the sensation that it is multiplied in space, while its curves contrast with the geometrical purity of the building.

		While the Golden Pavilion exposes building materials in their natural irregularity, the Barcelona pavilion is geometrically abstract; perfection is achieved in terms of materials and surfaces.
		The spatial focus in the Barcelona Pavilion is partly lit, the focus in Ryoan-ji is in relative darkness - these two modi correspond to the Western and Japanese way of experience: rational cognition and intuition.
		Thus, in both cases we encounter the idea of cultured; in the first case it is rough, nature-like (similarly to the idea of Shi-zen nature, as the final outcome of art); in the second case art is artificial, the contrast of nature and therefore cultivation means smooth and geometrically clear-cut surfaces.

		In the museum the pavilion was studied simultaneously for its relation to the broad podium on which it rested, as well as in regard for the surrounding landscape.
		As Mies had done at the Barcelona Pavilion, Peterhans had made a series of photographs in which light and form, but not mass or volume, was recorded through the projection or recording of light and plane in space.

		As can be gleaned from Stimpson's choice of words, The Barcelona Pavilion are as much a theoretical as musical construct, initially born out of Kado and fellow mouthpiece Maggie MacDonald taking the crowd-participation exercises they instigated as members of The Hidden Cameras to more polemical extremes.
		Since debuting at a house party in December, 2001, The Barcelona Pavilion (which also includes bassist Kat) have been challenging the idea of what a band can get away with onstage while promoting the celebratory communalism that results when you pack sweaty bodies together in tight spaces.
		But even in the supposedly more open-minded environs of the underground, The Barcelona Pavilion have seen their invitations to dance met with blank stares, if not outright hostility; earlier this year, MacDonald was the subject of a particularly vicious screed posted on indie-scene hub, www.secretarcade.com, which sparked an intense debate over the band's authenticity.

	Mies van der Rohe Pavilion \| Barcelona Sights & Activities \| Fodor's Online Travel Guide
		One of the architectural masterpieces of the Bauhaus School, the legendary Pavelló Mies van der Rohe -- the German contribution to the 1929 Universal Exhibition, reassembled between 1983 and 1986 -- remains a stunning "less is more" study in interlocking planes of white marble, green onyx, and glass.
		In effect, it is Barcelona's aesthetic antonym (possibly in company with Richard Meier's Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Rafael Moneo's Auditori, and the Mediterranean Gothic Santa Maria del Mar) for the hyper-Art Nouveau Palau de la Música and the city's myriad Gaudí spectaculars.
		The area in front of the pavilion is under construction (June 2003) and thus it is not worth making a special trip for this.
