Abstract

Egon Eiermann is considered one of the most outstanding architects of post-war Germany, who not only created hight-level architectural creations, but also excelled in furniture design. Because of the strict order and universality of his work, his architecture is compared to that of Mies van der Rohe, one of the greatest representatives of Modern Architecture. The main objective of this research is to determine the project tools, strategies, and project materials that can be extracted from Egon Eiermann´s work. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology is applied based on the recommendations of the book “El proyecto moderno Pautas de investigación” by Cristina Gastón and Teresa Rovira (2007); which is focuses for this research on the analysis of two case studies: The German Pavilion at the Brussels Exhibition and the IBM Headquarters in Stuttgart, as two of the most representative works of Egon Eiermann´s professional maturity as an architect of Modernity.
