From the architect. In the summer of 2013 Robbrecht en Daem architecten realizes a temporary pavilion based on a competition design by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe from 1930. The design, a clubhouse for a golf course in the gently rolling countryside around the former industrial city of Krefeld, mGermany, was never built at the time it was designed.
Christiane Lange, art
historian and curator for ProjektMIK, invited Robbrecht en
Daem architecten to design an objet d’architecture on the basis of the
unpublished historical sketches of the project that were found in the Mies
van der Rohe Archive (MoMA) in New York. The temporary installation
resulting from this commission is open for viewing from 26 May to
27 October 2013 at the original site of Mies’s project.
The 84 by 87 metre
installation is built primarily in wood. It is a life-size model revealing the essence
of Mies’s architecture through its abstraction. The pavilion is temporarily
enriching the architectural heritage of a city that is known for being
home to two of Mies’s other remarkable buildings: the double project ‘Haus
Lange’ and ‘Haus Esters’.
