The Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe

 Plate glass, chrome steel and polished marble, it was not meant to be lived in but to display a new form of pure architecture, new kind of modern space.
 The Barcelona Pavilion to me is the culmination of the work of the Bauhaus.

Molding form, function, exploratory thinking and industrial visual culture in to one great whole, the Barcelona Pavilion is a sleek modern representation of what Walter Gropius would call the “Modern Ideal.”
