Designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1954/55 for an open-air exhibition in Arnhem; rebuilt in the Sculpture Garden, 1965. This open structure was designed in 1955 for Sonsbeek Park in Arnheim for the exhibition of small sculptures. In 1965 it was rebuilt in the sculpture garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum on a site Rietveld himself selected. This building has the simplicity and geometric qualities characteristic of De Stijl architecture. Around a central space (12 by 12 meters) Rietveld arranged three corridor-like open galleries. The materials of the construction are clearly evident: concrete block brick, glass, and metal beams. After 1965 it was rebuild in Museum Kröller-Müller in Otterlo in honour of the architect. The pavilion lacks an official monument status, but it is nonetheless regarded as a monument. It's a very open and spatial building. Welcoming to it's visitors. #De_Stijl_architecture #Gerrit_Rietveld #Gerrit_Rietveld_Pavilion #Gerrit_Rietveld_paviljoen #KröllerMüller
