Jaali – A project which aims at enhancing the importance of tranquility in a space which is designed to be a public walkthrough. A space where one could relax and reflect.The Jaali  creates reflections on the water body and the walls of the Pavilion giving rise to a beautiful setting. The patterns are inspired from the sub divisions of a triangle.

Mies understood his pavilion simply as a building and nothing more, it would not house art or sculpture rather the pavilion would be a place of tranquility and escape from the exposition, in effect transforming the pavilion into an inhabitable sculpture. 

Barcelona Pavilion resides on a narrow site in a quiet tucked away corner secluded from the bustling city streets of Barcelona. It separates itself from it context create atmospheric and experiential effects that seem to occur in a vacuum that dissolves all consciousness of the surrounding city.
