Pavilion projects have a special place among Le Corbusier's (1887-1965) works. Building exhibition facilities, unlike office buildings and residential spaces, requires catching people's attention in a short period of time, and this challenge appealed to Le Corbusier, who presented many experimental attempts.

Each of his pavilions have a theme: "living", "water", "art", "human".

This exhibition focuses on the Philips Pavilion that Le Corbusier designed for Philips in 1958 for the Brussels World Expo. The Philips Pavilion was the center of attention not only for its innovative architectural form, but for the shows using music and visual media that were conducted inside. This film work, called 'Electronic Poem', will be shown inside a space that the gallery has prepared to resemble the pavilion's atmosphere.

Seven other representative pavilion projects will also be introduced to provide a systematic view of Le Corbusier's pavilions.
