Pabellon Mies Van der Rohe: Mies Van der Rohe Pavillion

Tuesday the 13th is equivalent to our Friday the 13th...

Gisela apparently got hit with some of that bad luck, from dropping her change, losing her shoes, and spilling pineapple juice all over the floor at International House during our break...the day got a bit better for her after Catalan class when we headed to Placa Espana to see the Mies Van der Rohe Pavillion.
Gisela and I going to the wrong part of the park...ooops!


Reflecting pool

Our guide, and friend of Professor Vidal's, who was in charge of re-creating and building the Pavillion from drawings and written criticisms, years after it was returned to Germany and destroyed. Really cool.

Trippy shot...reflective glass, transparent glass...

The statue

Stone wall with pieces from the original quarries in Germany.

Along the wall and columns on exterior looking in

the rear gardens

the reflecting pool again...so peaceful
