The other day I got involved in a discussion about the virtues of Mies van der Rohe's concept of 'Less is More'; an often heard expression that outside of the architectural community is seldom attributed to the German architect who first uttered the words. For this reason I decided to post this photo of the Barcelona Pavilion; the very essence of less is more. Perfect proportion, perfect detailing, exquisite use of materials and completely stripped of all unnecessary embellishment or decoration.
I created this photo using one of the black and white settings on my iPhone using the Hipstamatic app.
