Pavillon de 50'Esprit Nouveau was a model home synthetic for the 1925 International Exhibition of Modernistic Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris, France. The edifice was designed by Swiss architects Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. [one]

Building [ edit ]

The Pavillon was conceived of as a modular domicile that could be combined with others similar it to form a larger block. [2] The building measured 2,200 square anxiety (200 m2) and utilized an open program. A lower floor held living spaces and a kitchen while a second floor held bedrooms and a bathroom. [3]

In designing the edifice, Le Corbusier and Jeanneret aesthetically and ideologically diverged from the Art Deco fashion which dominated the exhibition. The architects, viewing architecture every bit too removed from human needs, emphasized function and sought to drastically diminish decoration. [3] In order to reduce the need for decorative furniture, Le Corbusier and Jeanneret included a myriad of congenital-in-furniture including cabinets and shelves. [4] The pavilion also included several cubist sculptures by Jacques Lipchitz, one of which was placed on the grass in front of the edifice.

Reconstruction [ edit ]

Information technology is non a well known fact merely when Le Corbusier designed the Fruges housing Estate at Pessac nigh Bordeaux, the seven houses located at the west stop of the site were designed to have like characteristics as the Pavilion de L'Esprit Nouveau. Each house consists of a rectangular block separated from the adjoining firm by a space equal to the size of the house. Thus we accept an A-B-A-B-A-B pattern along the length of the road. What makes this pattern remarkable is the sparse arched curved concrete roof which spans over the garden in the same way every bit the Pavilion has a garden with a hole in its roof to let the tree out.

Reception [ edit ]

In a 2017 article for CNN, Stephen Bayley named the edifice one of "xx Designs That Defined the Modern World." [4]
