Exterior view photograph. Netherlands Pavilion exterior (lot B-310). Minirail in foreground. Concordia Bridge in background. The Netherlands Pavilion's clever design had the look of permanence, yet its light spaceframe system allowed for the feeling of temporary exhibition design. The aluminum framing had many benefits as it was incredibly easy to construct on site and deconstruction was equally efficient. Elements such as small courtyards and artifcial lakes spoke of typical Dutch architecture and Holland's proximity to the water. A dynamic yet clear interior design featured ample exhibition space, each main volume having a partial basement and two storeys at differing floor levels. The pavilion showcased life in the Netherlands using visual displays on subjects ranging from the country's geography to industrialization to population and town planning. The sea was a recurring theme as visitors enjoyed displays of ships, dams and Rotterdam harbour. The pavilion also included a restaurant serving Dutch food and drinks. Three main rectangular volumes of differing levels. Aluminum tubing with structural steel support. Cement-asbestos board panels. (S:243' x 153' (overall dimensions); volumes measure 133' x 228', 209' x 152', 171' x 171' --- A: 27000 sq. ft. --- H: 62')
