Architects Anna and Eugeni Bach are giving the Barcelona Pavilion a minimalist makeover ? by covering all of its walls with colourless panels.

The Spanish architects are currently in the process of transforming the Mies van der Rohe masterpiece. Over the course of a week, they are gradually hiding all the building's distinctive marble wall surfaces behind white vinyl screens.

"This simple act turns the pavilion into a 1:1 scale mock-up, a representation of itself that opens the door to multiple interpretations about aspects like the value of the original, the role of the white surface as an image of modernity, and the importance of materiality in the perception of space," said the duo.
