Pavillon Suisse at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris is completed as a pilots-and-glass student hostel

The Swiss Pavilion at the Paris international student campus was built 1930–33: a slab on pilots, a stone-curved service block, and later a Corbusier mural. 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.

Centrosoyuz is the Moscow office of the same years. Savoye is the villa. This is a hostel. Later student occupations are reception. UNESCO is not the act.

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

A modern student hostel is an education path. High confidence on 1933.

What the sources establish

Fondation Le Corbusier independently lists the Swiss Pavilion. Britannica independently notes the CIUP building. Campus and architectural guides independently present it as visitable.

Established: 1930–33 Swiss Pavilion as his. Not established: a unique student-outcome series. Conventional 1933. Not 1925 pavilion as this title.

Shared responsibility is part of Pavillon Suisse at the Cité internationale universitaire de Paris is completed as a pilots-and-glass student hostel. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1933-01-01 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.

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