Recasting the familiar

However familiar a building may be, an effect of light or the isolation of a particular detail can open up new perspectives on surface, form and atmosphere. Here a trio of instantly recognisable shots of Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion is paired with images that have the effect of freshening the gaze and recharging the sensory encounter.
