Barcelona Pavilion Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

<p align="justify">This picture was sent to me by my good friend, <a href="http://www.azurean.ca/" target="_blank">Colin Kwok</a>, who is an Architect and an extraordinary Sculptor. It is the Barcelona Pavilion designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. I thought I would share it with you as it is very inspirational for me. I would love to visit Barcelona and view this sculpture in person one day. Enjoy.</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ8tNlf0XdF92ZCyt_RQGAH-TKFHG1Z-P0sAwwoWyi1YsquSHocavHzXDPDqMgb1ubqRs_ml856bpzvzmLW0BMxNRopdC4cbyuva4dIizPTM6E4uZ59GaT8az8BZrZRl0ui8oBsXyslHh1/s1600-h/image%5B1%5D.png"><img alt="image" border="0" height="475" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaa1GRlYrCKx8HfZbrk1eHcaj0QHZo0jXeqo6ISC3MYPot3FxKahXlpS1kyz4CVZ1CBFebVfQ2Q4wekSuZvf3NgGvnIGa9OdU_-0r3ovZtA6l3HMYBwLNDy2y5wVg-klqZj_EdKlpBu1qe/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="603" /></a> <br /><span style="font-size: 78%">Barcelona Pavilion, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe</span></p> <p>The <b>Barcelona Pavilion</b>, designed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Mies_van_der_Rohe">Ludwig Mies van der Rohe</a>, was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. It was an important building in the history of modern architecture, known for its simple form and extravagant materials, such as marble and travertine.</p> <p>The building stood on a large podium alongside a pool. The structure itself consisted of eight steel posts supporting a flat roof, with curtain glass walling and a handful of partition walls. The overall impression is of perpendicular planes in three dimensions forming a cool, luxurious space.</p> <p>Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_chair">Barcelona chair</a> for the Barcelona Pavilion, hence the name for the chair. The Barcelona Pavilion was dismantled at the end of the exhibition, but a replica has since been built on the same site <span style="font-size: 78%">(1981-1986 replica Barcelona Pavilion by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe).</span></p> <p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkQbL8skdHEge2En5y4d2Kwp8KgPqdyvW-EFqOweI8ZQPkzD7_5qVdXR4_jc-sink_wF6Tf2EtHV2QzVuFNwLoMrSHT579WFjskQKAP1Dh_vHXSF9iwrlOfBbyjALehNmUCLOCVcBEM14M/s1600-h/Louie%2026A%5B3%5D.png"><img alt="Louie 26A" border="0" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-Zc-rCJ5DNq6vERNW9iEoKVzJKpyqU3yCE2uM-gePV06d5PpjpyZLyZn8Ymo4YRpWWrDKhX3HbBHOUebrwNodhyp25BBxeeRekIYAqIRdNCDViAxNAbSONCjsYHHM8V5HOYt9HtI4Fmkn/?imgmax=800" style="border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" width="622" /></a> </p> <p align="center">Above Photo: Sculpture <a href="http://www.azurean.ca/" target="_blank">Colin Kwok</a> <br />Interior Design <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/" target="_blank">Patricia Gray</a> <br />Click <a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/2007/07/colin-kwok-sculptor.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000">here</span></a> to see a posting I did on the above of Colin Kwok's sculpture titled: Jeanne d' Arc in a client's bedroom.</p> <p align="center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" height="200" id="Player_cc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e" reinit="reinit" reinitswf="reinitswf" width="600"><param name="_cx" value="15875"><param name="_cy" value="5291"><param name="FlashVars" value=""><param name="Movie" value="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fwwwpatriciagr-20%2F8010%2Fcc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><param name="Src" value="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fwwwpatriciagr-20%2F8010%2Fcc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate"><param name="WMode" value="Window"><param name="Play" value="0"><param name="Loop" value="-1"><param name="Quality" value="High"><param name="SAlign" value="LT"><param name="Menu" value="-1"><param name="Base" value=""><param name="AllowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="Scale" value="NoScale"><param name="DeviceFont" value="0"><param name="EmbedMovie" value="0"><param name="BGColor" value="FFFFFF"><param name="SWRemote" value=""><param name="MovieData" value=""><param name="SeamlessTabbing" value="1"><param name="Profile" value="0"><param name="ProfileAddress" value=""><param name="ProfilePort" value="0"><param name="AllowNetworking" value="all"><param name="AllowFullScreen" value="false"> <embed src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fwwwpatriciagr-20%2F8010%2Fcc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate" id="Player_cc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" name="Player_cc4a4e7c-b608-455a-a87e-7b4745c8a83e" allowscriptaccess="always" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" height="200px" width="600px"></embed></object> </p> <p align="center"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.com/"><span style="font-size: 78%"><font size="1">Patricia Gray</font></span></a><span style="font-size: 78%"><font size="1"> writes about 'WHAT'S HOT 'in the world of Interior Design, new and emerging trends, modern design, <br />architecture,  and travel, as well as how your surroundings can </font><span style="font-size: 78%"><font size="1">influence the world around you. <br /><a href="http://patriciagrayinc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">© Patricia Gray Interior Design Blog, 2009</a> </font></span></span></p> <noscript></noscript>
