We're finally here at Barcelona Pavilion, built by German architect Mies van der Rohe in 1929 for the Barcelona World's Fair. It is modernist architecture's most important shrine.

Just to give a sense of how forward-looking it was at that time, we were building shophouses in Singapore in the 1960's.Monday, 10 September 2007
