Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau at the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs shows a cell of modern living and the Plan Voisin as exhibit

At the 1925 Art Deco exposition Le Corbusier erected the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, a full-scale cell of Purist living, with dioramas of the Plan Voisin. He did not win the exposition’s decorative-arts argument. In the causal graph this event strengthens Digital Learning Access, a driver that weakens Learning Poverty Rate (low- and middle-income countries) — an improving welfare path.

At the 1925 Art Deco exposition Le Corbusier erected the Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, a full-scale cell of Purist living, with dioramas of the Plan Voisin. He did not win the exposition’s decorative-arts argument. Split: the plan’s displacement is the other 1925 row.

Context

Ozenfant and Perriand neighbourhood. The official decorative-arts fair disliked the pavilion; that conflict is the point. Later reconstructions of the pavilion are not 1925.

The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.

Why it matters

A teaching pavilion is an education path. High confidence on 1925. The Plan inside it is the other row’s object.

Shared responsibility is part of Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau at the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs shows a cell of modern living and the Plan Voisin as exhibit. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1925-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

What the sources establish

Fondation Le Corbusier independently documents the 1925 pavilion. Britannica independently treats 1925 as a public clash of his modernism with Art Deco. MoMA independently collects related interiors. No unique 1925 ticket series is invented.

Established: 1925 pavilion as his. Not established: a unique conversion-of-visitors coefficient. Conventional 1925. Not a later Bologna reconstruction as the act.

If a number is not in the two records named above, it is not supplied here.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Split path: this is the teaching cell; Plan Voisin is the Paris erasure. Mixed effects of Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau at the 1925 Paris Exposition des Arts Décoratifs shows a cell of modern living and the Plan Voisin as exhibit are separate paths.
