Glossary entry (derived from question below)
French term
pavillon
"La pensée circule, dans la section française, mais aussi dans ses entours, jusqu’en France et vers l’étranger à travers diverses communautés. La communauté française des designers et architectes du pavillon;"
(later in the text) "ceci a suggéré que le propos s’échappe du pavillon et que des textes, des paroles, des projets soient portés à l’extérieur"
The only translation of "pavillon" that I can find that would fit this context is "roof" (maybe more figurative than literal).
4 +8 | pavillion |

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thanks, Charles, depends on the building, but if it is the Biennale, then, yes, as I also pointed out.

Discussion
It seems pavilion has been much more common since 1800:

But I insist, I'm just drawing attention to this. People must make up their own minds how they want to spell it.
"pavillion (plural pavillions)
Alternative spelling of pavilion (obsolete, except in the names of theatres, hotels, etc.)
