Greenland may be alot more
populated if the global
warming predictions come
true.
Is there no glass in that wall?
What was in the original building during the exhibition?
Breathtaking
If you're talking about no glass being in the Barcelona Pavilion wall, yes, some of the walls like this one extend past the envelope.
The original building was pretty much identical to what's there now. It was demolished only a year after it was built, then rebuilt between 1983 and 1896. Some parts of the original remained in a warehouse and were resurrected by Rem Koolhaas for a Biennale Exhibition in Venice.
Oh, and what is in there now is what was in there, sorry. (The chairs designed by Mies for the space, for instance). It was an exhibition pavilion. The gift shop function was added, I believe, and I'm not sure what was in that part before.
