Danish Pavilion for the Venice Giardini Pubblici In 1958, Peter Koch presented a design for the extension of the Danish Pavilion, originally designed in 1932 by Carl Brummer The original building was a rectangular hall with the entrance on one of its long sides, facing the 'Piazzale delle Cerimonie' (Ceremony Square) The neoclassical building was preserved by Koch and the extension grew asymmetrically, stretching from the back of the building towards one side The extension is simple and very low key The materials used were brick, iron and glass 1932 Associate architect Carl Brummer Peter Koch Ny Carlsbergfondet lmattozz Get off at the Giardini boat station and walk towards the entrance http://wwwmimoaeu/users/thomas_n_frandsen/guides/venezia/ 7
Spanish Pavilion for the Venice Giardini Pubblici Inaugurated in 1922, the Spanish Pavilion for the Venice was originally designed by Javier De Luque and has a remembrance of late XVII-century Castilian baroque The façade consists of columns and typical baroque floral decoration In 1952, architect Joaquin Vaquero Palacios was asked to redesign the façade The new façade is conceived as a canvas of bricks Only two sculptures, representing bears, were to stand on the sides of the entrance 8-1922 Associate architect Javier de Luque Joaquin Vaquero Palacios Spanish Government lmattozz Get off at the Giardini boat station and walk towards the entrance http://wwwmimoaeu/users/thomas_n_frandsen/guides/venezia/ 8

Austrian Pavilion for the Venice Giardini Pubblici The first draft for the Austrian Pavilion at the Venice was sketched by Josef Hoffmann in 1913 The project ended up being too costly and eventually the idea was abandoned In 1926 Emil Hoppe and Otto Schönthal made a new proposal for the pavilion, but that too ended up being too pricey In 1934 the Austrian government decides to have a competition and Josef Hoffmann eventually wins with a project completely different from his previous one The pavilion was built in 30 days, but incomplete Between 1938 and 1954 Hoffmann kept finishing the pavilion and added missing elements such as the lateral porch, the fountain and the garden walls 8-1934 Josef Hoffmann Austrian Government lmattozz Get off at the Giardini boat station and walk towards the entrance http://wwwmimoaeu/users/thomas_n_frandsen/guides/venezia/ 11
