Cultural Pavilions Brochure


This brochure from 1974 is quite different from the ones published before it, in that it focuses on a specific aspect of the future township. The city area of Auroville is divided into four zones: Residential, Cultural, Industrial and International, apart from the Peace Area at its heart. In the International Zone are to be located Cultural Pavilions for the nations of the world (or groups of nations). Each pavilion will showcase that nation’s culture, the contribution that culture is going to make to the variety and diversity within the growing unity of humanity, and work out how the genius of each nation is going to contribute to that unity.

This last page was an insert in the brochure, containing a quote by MS Adiseshiah, the then Deputy Director of UNESCO
