At the same time, «the Bauhaus» served as a stylistic term to label almost every form of unorna- bauhaus style mented «modern» design—from geometric teaspoons to large white-painted flat-roof housing estates. Walter Gropius would have been pleased about both those references, and would also have been glad that the Bauhaus Verbund [Association], founded on the occasion of the centenary, gave further impetus to a con- ception of the Bauhaus as an idea that remains ground-breaking today, in terms of both its programmatic approach and its aspira- tion—100 years of bauhaus «Thinking the World Anew». -

Re-enactment: Lilly Reich’s Work Occupies the Barcelona Pavilion Laura Martínez de Guereñu Pavelló Mies van der Rohe. Av. Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia 7. Barcelona 06/03 - 15/07/2020 Laura Martínez de Guereñu Re-enactment: Lilly Reich’s Work Occupies the Barcelona Pavilion Re-enactment is a material response to the pervasive invisibility of Lilly Reich’s work. It arises with a clear motivation: to reveal the architecture designed by Lilly Reich for the German sections of the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition inside eight Noucentista Palaces, an area that is fifty times greater in magnitude than the Pavilion itself. Re-enactment occupies the heart of the Pavilion with the reconstruction of two of the display cases that Lilly Reich originally designed and built for the Palaces. This reconstruction was possible thanks to the blueprints that Lilly Reich saved, moving them to Mühlhausen (Thuringia) during World War II, the originals of which are today a part of the Lilly Reich Collection in the Mies van der Rohe Archive at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The intervention transforms a vertical element of light—the milky-colored, double-glazed screen— into a lenghty horizontal display case and adds a vertical display case to the visitor’s path toward the inner reflecting pool. An unprecedented documentary sequence is built in the horizontal display case with new archival evidence (letters, photographs, patents, trademarks, and plans) that links the Pavilion with the architecture of the Palaces. Two film sequences from the exhibition opening in 1929, which reveal the Pavilion as the starting point of an attentive promenade across the unequal industrial sections, are reproduced in the vertical display case. -
