Representations of the German Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe, 1929

Abstract

The Article is about the German Pavilion, an oeuvre by Mies van der Rohe, designed and built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. In specific terms analyzes (and think about) the interpretative possibilities that the official photographic representations of the pavilion offered at the time of their circulation, both from the comments of experts and historians (who comment on them until today), as well as from a new approach (that of visual logic, for example) related to graphic representations (mainly that of perspective) and their influence in the construction of the publicity images of the well-known building, as well as its significant and expressive perception, which has been mediated by these photographs for decades.
