Document Summary
Five points le corbusi: support of ground-level piloks, eleva[ng the building from the earth and allowing the garden to be extended to the space beneath, a functional roof. It may have been possible in the not-too-distant past to dismiss the pavilion (the pavilloner," as le corbusier disparagingly called it) as a minor and inconsequen[al type of architecture, a frivolous ornament on the landscape. Today, one might find it harder to ignore such architectural spaces whether they are built for official ins[tu[ons and interna[onal exposi[ons, 0r conceived by ar[sts as more experimental structures that intervene within a poli[cs of cultural representa[on. Pavilions are now open front and centre to what are being called the spaces of global cultures. Portable foldaway structures, capable of being set up quickly in the encampments of military campaigns and diplomatic assemblies. In the ancient roman empire and beyond, these acquired the name butterflies" papilio in latin, from which the modern french pavillon derives.
