Habitually thought of as an abstract, unpolluted, and splendidly isolated building--a precursor of Mies's American period--the Pavilion is revealed here as a thoroughly European work, perhaps less pristine but more authentic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Mies and Lilly Reich were commissioned to design not only the Pavilion but also more than one hundred thousand square feet of German stands spread throughout the Exposition. By examining that work in addition to the Pavilion itself, the contributors present a far-reaching reinterpretation of the whole. They also explore connections with the mass media, highlight the work's antecedents and meaning in the history of architecture, and analyze the current pavilion, a reconstruction of the original built in 1986. No other critical study offers a comparable overview of Mies's work in Barcelona.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRemei Capdevila-Werning \u003c\/b\u003eis a research associate at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. \u003cb\u003eBeatriz Colomina \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of history and theory of architecture and director of the media and modernity program. \u003cb\u003eJuan José Lahuerta\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of art and architecture history at the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura de Barcelona (ETSAB-UPC) and director of the Gaudí Chair at ETSAB-UPC. \u003cb\u003eLaura Martínez de Guereñu \u003c\/b\u003eis professor and coordinator of the program of lectures at the iE School of Architecture, Madrid-Segovia. \u003cb\u003eDietrich Neumann \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of the history of art and architecture at Brown University. \u003cb\u003eFritz Neumeyer \u003c\/b\u003eis emeritus professor of architectural theory at the Technische Universität, Berlin\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpyros Papapetros\u003c\/b\u003e is associate professor of history and theory of architecture at Princeton University. \u003cb\u003eLutz Robbers\u003c\/b\u003e is an architectural theorist at Bauhaus Universität, Weimar.\u003cb\u003e Carmen Rodríguez Pedret \u003c\/b\u003eis associate professor in the Department of Theory and History of Architecture and Communication Techniques at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Barcelona. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11 x 8.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42729898737727,"sku":"9788494423420","price":85.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/b7312f9f2f6f741127e3830432e74e8e.webp?v=1765124023","url":"https:\/\/dhl-adrianne.myshopify.com\/products\/mies-van-der-rohe-barcelona-1929-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
