Abstract

The exhibition architecture is a fundamental part of the Art history, because of its methods of ideological and technological experimentation. The first scenarios where new trends, styles and even artistic movements took place were at the beginning of the twentieth century. This article focuses on a specific part of the work of Mies van der Rohe, in particular his Pavilion of Electricity and The 25 samples of German Industry, both constructions built for the International Exhibition of 1929 at Barcelona. These two projects were eclipsed by the reconstructed German Pavilion and have been forgotten by the critics of the time and the current criticism.
