Research on Lilly Reich's Collaborative Work with Mies van der Rohe Discussed by Experts

An interview conducted by Nicolás Valencia features insights from two experts on the architectural contributions of Lilly Reich. Anna Ramos, director of the Fundació Mies van der Rohe, and Laura Martínez de Guereñu, an architect and researcher, discuss Reich's professional partnership with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Martínez de Guereñu has authored a publication titled 'Lilly Reich in Barcelona: The Materialization of a Neglected Authorship,' which examines their joint projects. The conversation highlights several key collaborative works from 1927, including the Glass Room at the Stuttgart Housing Exhibition and the Velvet and Silk Café at the Berlin exhibition 'Die Mode der Dame.' Their most significant joint achievement was the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona, a structure that became an architectural landmark. The discussion aims to bring greater recognition to Reich's role in these projects, which have often been primarily attributed to Mies van der Rohe. The interview was published on March 31, 2026, by ArchDaily, focusing on historical analysis rather than current events.
