Buckminster Fuller’s Dymaxion House is probably as much about Chicago as Le Corbusiers Pavillion de l’Esprit Nouveau is about Paris – and both are as different from each other as Chicago and Paris are. Le Corbusiers pavilion was not just a prototype for a house; it also contained a presentation of the Plan Voisin for Paris. It proposed to replace large parts of the city’s centre with (among others) large towers for upcoming almost Saint-Simonist industriels -like aircraft and car manufacturers Gabriel and Charles Voisin who gave the project its name. The flirt with industriels continued inside the pavilion with selected furniture and building elements, objets types at the end of their evolutionary developments which would be advertised in the magazine Esprit Nouveau.
