Shortly after building the Barcelona Pavilion, Verseidag, the large silk-weaving company in Krefeld, Germany, commissioned Mies van der Rohe to build its factory. It was constructed between 1930 and 1935 and the premises are now called the Ludwig Mies van der Rohe Business Park.
One of the spaces of this factory will show the exhibition of the European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2015.
