The building's severe lines and the aesthetic effect of the materials used (glass, steel, polished natural stone) are very effective; in the air-well stands a statue of Georg Kolbe. The chairs in the pavilion were designed as the "Barcelona" model for the World Exhibition and still retain their timeless elegance.

There is also a documentation center which works in close co-operation with the Mies van der Rohe Archives in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
