PAVILLON DE L’ESPRIT NOUVEAU: A 21ST CENTURY SHOW HOME

Conceived as both a speculative model for the technological home and an homage to Le Corbusier’s Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau of 1925, Felix Burrichter’s exhibition PAVILLON DE L’ESPRIT NOUVEAU: A 21st Century Show Home was a radical, multifunctional domestic space as well as a showcase for new design. As the second edition of Swiss Institute’s Architecture and Design Series, this volume adopts the conceptual framework of the exhibition at SI and is related public programs, in addition to presenting seminal essays, archival materials, and exhibition documentation.
