The 1929 International Exposition is without a doubt one of the most important events to have shaped the urban landscape of the city of Barcelona, probably only paralleled in its influence in the 20th century by the 1992 Olympic Games. Many of the city’s most iconic landmarks can be attributed to this defining event and continue to draw thousands of visitors to the city each year.The 1929 International Exposition took place from May 20th 1929 to January 15th 1930 and saw the participation of 20 European countries, including France, Britain, Germany and Italy, as well as some private organisations from the USA and Japan. All of the participants were allocated their own pavilion, most of which were designed by an architect from their own country. The exposition ran concurrently with the 1929 Ibero-American Festival in Seville, aimed at furthering the relationship between Spain and Latin American countries, and as a result no Latin American countries featured in the Barcelona exposition. The exposition was attended by over 200,000 visitors from across Europe and the world, and was opened by the then King of Spain Alfonso XIII.The exposition was conceived as a way of showcasing the technological advances of the city, especially in the areas of technology, architecture and art. There were officially three sections to the exhibition: ‘Industry’, ‘Sports’ and ‘Art’. Because of the large number of new constructions that were required for the exhibition, the project was an opportunity for many engineers and architects to experiment with new styles and techniques. In terms of architecture, the movement known asnoucentismewas consolidated as the emerging replacement for the hitherto popular Catalan Modernism triumphed by the likes ofAntoni GaudíandLluís Domenech i Montaner.
