Abstract

In the context of the Modern Movement and influenced by Le Corbusier's design principles, this text explores the significance of the Swiss master's exhibition pavilion and fair projects. These projects, distinct from conventional architectural timelines, serve as evidence of the ideas shaping the project process, reflecting a compression of time and manifestos in physical form. Focusing on collaborations with English architect Clive Entwistle for exhibitions in England, particularly the 1939 Ideal Home Exhibition, the article delves into Le Corbusier's innovative designs, including a Ville Radieuse housing unit, a prefabricated house, and a luxury house. The text highlights Le Corbusier's strategic use of exhibition architecture as a platform to communicate his principles and theories, showcasing his work as a "laboratory" of projects. The article emphasizes the intertextuality of Le Corbusier's work, where ideas transcend projects, contexts, and meanings, fostering a dynamic relationship between theoretical reflections and practical experiences in pavilion and exhibition designs.
