| Barcelona Pavilion |
Built in 1929,
the German Pavilion of Barcelona is an outstanding example of media
architecture. The pavilion was designed specifically for the German section of
the 1929 International exhibition. Due to the placement of the solid and glass
walls, a distinction between the inside and outside of the structure is hard to
see. The simplicity of the walls was transferred to the design of the furniture
such as the Barcelona Chair. Placed on a quiet site, the pavilion is a nice
place for someone to relax while passing through to the other exhibits. Two
pools of water sit on different ends of the pavilion, one in the large open
area and one in the small secret garden.

The diagrams indicate the circulation around the pavilion. Due to the placement of
the walls, a person cannot simply walk up the stairs and straight through. The
person must experience the space as he walks through the pavilion. The model shows
the simple placement of the solid walls and the effect they have on the
circulation of the spaces.
