"Combined a restrained minimalism and a cool abstraction with the vibration of light on texture concrete plans. The Pavilion was to show Nordic works of art, and the roof was assembled from a lattice of apparently weightless concrete blades a meter deep but only six centimeters thick. One row of these blades rested laterally on another, so the effect was of a diapered pattern of floating shadows intended to create an equivalent to Scandivian light. (...)
The plan relied upon a Miesian sense of absence: 'Nordic silence'."
W.J.R. Curtis, 1982
