The national gallery- berlin : Mies van der rohe

This is a work of Architect Mies van der Rohe, a German- American architect. I found this work to be very interesting because of how simple, yet how grand it is. It is symmetrical all the way around, and has glass walls and a beautiful steel overhang. Most of his work contained glass and steel elements, but this one is unique because we are able to see the steel framework on the outside. It makes it look very modern but very ornate as well. He wanted to emphasize flexibility, and made it to where there are only temporary displays, which can be seen from every angle outside of the building.
