I love the work of German-American architect
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and I already discussed finding a replica of his Farnsworth House in SL
HERE. You know how much I love architecture and tonight I found another Mies building, his famous
Barcelona Pavilion.
Built in 1929 as the German national pavilion for the Barcelona Int'l Exposition, it has become an icon of modern architecture, due to its clean lines and use of space. We are used to buildings like it today, but in 1929, it was an original way of viewing architecture. Its famous white leather "Barcelona" chairs are still being created today. It is spare and beautiful and it was quite a treat to be able to walk through it...well worth a
visit.
