Mies van der Rohe's Barcelone Pavilion

The main themes and concepts that have been observed upon analysing Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion were the following:

- The use of traditional architectural elements in a new and non-traditional way, as seen in the pavilion’s non-loadbearing walls that were given a new role in creating special spatial experiences and giving a particular direction in the process of movement through the pavilion

- The relationship between the inside and the outside and the ambiguity that was achieved through the walls, columns, and the glass

- The different activities that were held in each space hinted at through the language of the appropriate architecture

- The floating roofs
