Does anyone know where replica of the Meis Barcelona pavillion is in the UK? It's been featured in several TV ads and even a bloody Westlife video....

Sorry, but why do you think there is a replica in the UK? Perhaps the TV ads and Westlife video were shot in Barcelona. I can't find any reference to a UK replica on the web; but did find one saying that there were no Mies van der Rohe builidings in the UK.

Thanks geofbob. I know that the house in the Clio and Blockbuster ads is not the Barcelona Pavillion because the sculptures are different and the castle ramparts that tower over it in the Catalan capitol are no in evidence. Could be some some TV trickery. There is a Mies kit house in Maidenhead identical to the one featured in Ferris Bulers Day Off. This I know because my friends parents own it!
