Virtual Architecture: The Barcelona Pavilion in VR

An immersive learning environment that makes one of the most important buildings of modernism walkable: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion from 1929. In virtual reality, Mies himself is your personal guide through his work, explaining materials, spatial ideas and architectural history in dialogue. To finish, it gets hands-on: the famous Barcelona chair floats disassembled into its individual parts in front of you. You put it back together piece by piece, from the X-shaped steel frame to the connecting bolts to the hand-stitched leather cushions. The construction becomes something you literally grasp with your hands. A digital learning path for architecture and building culture education, developed for Meta Quest 3.
