Description: ”The Electronic Poem” (the original title: "Le Poeme Electronique") by Le Corbusier - illustrated architectural album published in 1958 by "Editions de Minuit" (First Edition).

Closed measures: 21 cm x 21 cm (8.2" x 8.2"). Short history: For almost 30 years, the Philips Pavilion and the ”Poème électronique” remained Le Corbusier’s most mysterious projects – even though thousands and thousands of people had seen them at the 1958 Brussels Expo. After the Expo, the pavilion was destructed. Therefore, the pavilion became more known for its revolutionary shape, defined by an intriguing play with hyperbolic paralleloid surfaces, and exceptional construction of prestressed concrete that was only 5 centimetres thick, than for what it really was supposed to be: the first immersive electronic multimedia environment that largely relied on computers.
