The master architect we had chosen was Mies Van der Rohe and his project Barcelona Pavilion. We were required to understand and explore how the spaces are created from the architectural elements like solid, planes, lines and frames in order to express the ideas in the form of models.
Mies Van der Rohe's work is best known for the structural clarity where he dropped the idea of using walls as load-bearing structure but the columns instead, and with the clear separation of load bearing (columns) and non load-bearing (marble walls and glass). Besides, his idea was also influenced by the concept of suprematism by the artist Malevich where everything is back to simple geometric form, he prefer the ideas of using forms like rectangular and the overlapping of wall slabs to create a different kind spatial connection within each entity.
The pictures below were the research and ideas we prepared for the interim presentation,
Below are the final outcome of our work,
Through this project, I had learnt to express architectural concepts and ideas through not only sketches but also in the form of diagrammatic models. I think it helps in the way of presenting a clearer ideas about the true meaning behind the concept of a building done by the master architect. Besides, we had got the chance to carry out this deeper and detailed research about this building Barcelona Pavilion which I think was certainly a good way for us to understand the importance of the use of architectural element in expression. And it was indeed a good experience to work under the same group with all great and cooperative members.
