A line of light redraws the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion and offers new looks in successive phases that highlight the Essential architecture as if it were in a constructive plane: the pillars, the plinth, the decks, the edges, the vertical and the horizontal lines, the travertine pieces, the interior and the exterior, the pond...
The projection of light and color accentuate the resounding horizontality of the Pavilion from the forecourt and changes the perception of its radical plastic beauty.
With the luminescent movement of lines and colors, Mario Pasqualotto wants to take us to a dynamic contemplative state in which the Pavilion is explained in a linear drawing of light that projects the image of a frontal elevation of vibrant light.

"The intervention proposes highlighting with lines and points of light the main architectural elements that generate the diaphanous spaces and walls of the Pavilion, as well as the process of its accelerated design and construction. It also intends to value, at the hours without sun, the environments sculpted by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich, with dynamism through several lighting sequences and light silence that allow, in turn, to attend a spontaneous redrawn with light from the pencil strokes during virtual podium design, decks, walls and glazed elements called to configure representative environments."
