Journal
Sharing the same vision and values, we teamed up as friends — Joko in old-Japanese — and started an online journal to portray inspiring places, objects and people. An initiative that naturally led us towards the beginning of Studio Joko.
Fundació Mies van der Rohe, Barcelona
Right at the base of Barcelona’s Montjuïc hill, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe built a minimalist marble framework that plays with material, light and openness. When stepping inside the monument, you might find yourself wondering what space exactly you have entered. An elegant aesthetic and rich materials give away its importance, but the lack of decoration will make you think twice about this intriguing piece of architecture. The true function of the building dates all the way back to 1929, when Mies van der Rohe was asked to build a meeting place for the International Exhibition of Barcelona.
