Question

A series of glass sculptures named for these structures, like Triangular Solid with Circular Cut-Outs, characteristically use two-way mirrors and were created by Dan Graham. In Brussels’s Jubelpark, a building of this type designed like a classical Greek temple houses Jef Lambeaux’s relief The Human Passions. A plinth in a building of this type made out of Roman travertine stone is located next to two pools enclosed by green marble walls, which frame (*) Georg Kolbe’s statue Dawn. For a 1929 building of this type, an architect imported onyx from the Atlas Mountains and created a design (-5[1])based on the curule chair, which he later (10[1])used in his Villa Tugendhat. Nine hyperbolic paraboloids (-5[2])made up a Iannis Xenakis and Le Corbusier-designed one of these buildings commissioned by Philips. For 10 points, Mies van der Rohe designed what kind of building for the International Exposition in Barcelona? (10[1])■END■ (10[3])
