In 1953, the Dutch government decides to bring down the 1912 pavilion by Ferdinand Boberg and puts Gerrit Thomas Rietveld in charge of designing the new Dutch pavilion. The new pavilion has a simple square plan and few interior walls, all orthogonal to the exterior ones. The building contains volumes of different heights in order to get light from above.
