The Brussels Pavilion (also known as the Pavilion of the Hexagons) is one of the most interesting buildings of Spanish architecture and, for me, one of the most advanced of its time, because it is not just a building, but a modular system for constructing buildings. In the guide you will find a lot of information about it. Original publications, the other projects awarded in the competition and some original drawings, thanks to the Molezun Archive at the COAM.
