Le Corbusier sculpture?
Does anyone know the context or relationship of the pictured Le Corbusier sculpture with the Var&egrave;se piece? There needs to be some tie-in if the image is to remain. / ninly ( talk ) 04:45, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Not Le Corbusier, but Xenakis
The Philips pavilion at the Brussels World's Fair 1958 was not conceived by Le Corbusier, but was conceived and designed exclusively by Iannis Xenakis. "The escape lines" of his outside Philips pavilion are the glissandi lines started in his orchestral piece: Metastasis in 1954; is his architectural signature. 90.96.114.154 (talk) 18:46, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
 * As the article states, the commission was given to Le Corbusier, and Xenakis was working as his "assistant". I know of no evidence that suggests the design was anything but Xenakis's work but, under his terms of employment, Le Corbusier was entitled at the time to take credit for the design. Perhaps this point needs to be strengthened in the article, but it will require a reliable source. (For what it is worth, I know of one source that mistakenly attributes the pavilion's design to Olivier Messiaen!!)—Jerome Kohl (talk) 16:39, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
