Richard Neutra was an Austrian-American architect.He came to be considered among the most important modernist architects. While I was designing my pavilion, I was inspired from his modernist style.Neutra was born in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Vienna, on April 8, 1892 into a wealthy Jewish family. His Jewish-Hungarian father Samuel Neutra (1844 – 1920) was a proprietor of a metal foundry, and his mother, Elizabeth "Betty" Glaser Neutra (1851 – 1905) was a member of the IKG Wien. Richard had two brothers who also emigrated to the United States, and a sister who married in Vienna. I designed a glass pavilion like his way of designing.When people enters my pavilion, they first see a tourist information desk. Near this info desk, there's a presentation room about İstanbul. At the second floor of my pavilion, there's a coffee shop and restrooms.
