Esprit Nouveau pavilion was initially designed by Le Corbusier for the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes (Paris, 1925). Le Corbusier's ideas, too avant-garde for the times, were not followed up and so the reconstruction of the prototype house, built in Bologna in 1977 on the occasion of the French participation at SAIE that same year, assumed the significance of a particularly important cultural event, an element which is still associated with the Padiglione Esprit Nouveau, now the headquarters of the OIKOS Study Centre. Architects Jose Oubrerie and Giuliano Gresleri were responsible for the renovation.
I am publishing a book in brazil and I wish I could have two of these photos of the Esprit Nouveau Pavilion in Bologne, by Marco_Zanini. Please get in contact to tell me about the possibility, and to settle the conditions. Best Regards, Rafael.
