ludwig mies van der rohe
Ludwig sought to establish his own architectural style that could represent modern
times. His buildings made use of modern materials such as industrial steel and
plate glass to define interior spaces. He is often associated with his fondness
for the aphorisms "less is more".
After world war one, the classical styles gained a good
cultural credibility a
disaster widely seen as a failure of the old world order of imperial leadership
of Europe. The aristocratic classical revival styles were particularly reviled
by many as the architectural symbol of a now-discredited and outmoded social
system. Progressive thinkers called for a completely new architectural design
process guided by rational problem-solving and an exterior expression of modern
materials and structure rather than what they considered the superficial application
of classical facades.
Mies
van der Rohe was commissioned by the Weimar Republic to create the building for
the International Exposition in Barcelona; its aim was to evince a progressive,
democratic, and modern post-World War Germany, a decade on from the traumas of
the war and the resulting Treaty of Versailles. The pavilion was intended to be
the site of the German section of the exhibition, that would host the King of
Spain and a troop of German officials at the inauguration of the exposition—and
thereby show the world Germany’s new architecture, represented through the
space.
