NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION: This asymmetric, open plan, single story pavilion was the German exhibit at theBarcelona World's Fair in 1929. It was built on a travertine base with marble and opaque and transparent glasswalls. Four different kinds of marble were used. The roof was flat, supported by chrome steel columns. Anexterior reflective pool provides visual contrast. There are few closed corners. Most walls only partially enclosea rectangular space, and the glass doors provide a continuation of those walls, and are nearly indistinguishable,breaking down the distinction between the inside and outside of the building.
