El Pabellón de Barcelona original fue desmantelado en 1930, seis meses después de su construcción y se construyó una réplica en 1986. Por lo tanto, esencialmente, el edificio ha vivido tres vidas: en primer lugar, durante la exposición, en segundo lugar, después de que se desmontara y un portafolio de fotografías fuera el sustituto más cercano de la realidad y, finalmente, después de que se reconstruyera. Este trabajo argumenta la existencia de una cuarta vida del pabellón, impresa, creada por las numerosas interpretaciones críticas que de ella se hacen. Este ensayo analiza cómo estos artículos contribuyeron a su vida paralela en los medios de comunicación y a su reputación como icono de la arquitectura moderna.
