The two commissioners of the German pavilion interpret Artistic Director Rem Koolhaas’s theme of \u003cI\u003eAbsorbing Modernity 1914–2014 \u003c\/I\u003eby examining the speculative reality of architecture through two protagonists, the Kanzlerbungalow [Chancellor Bungalow] and the German Pavilion.
