| Summary: | The original Barcelona Pavilion was dismantled in 1930, a few months after its construction, and a replicawas constructed in 1986. Therefore, essentially, the building has lived three lives: first, during the exposition;second, after it was taken apart and a portfolio of photographs was the closest substitute of itsreality; finally, after it was reconstructed. This paper argues for the existence of a fourth life of the pavilionin print, created by the numerous critical interpretations of it. It analyzes how such articles contributedto its parallel life in media and its reputation as an icon of modern architecture. |
