S.T.A.R. pavilion

Georges Fournet, who owned the Société de Transports Aériens Rapides (S.T.A.R.), reached an agreement on 18 April 1930 with Charles-Édouard Jeanneret for a commercial pavilion intended for the Le Bourget air terminal. Henry Niepce's Art et Industrie workshops began building it in June 1930.

Despite a major overrun on the estimate, which had been fixed-price, and a disagreement between the parties, the pavilion was finished during the summer of 1930. Air France bought it in 1933. It was demolished as early as 1936, during work on the terminal.

Designed for the airline, the pavilion is fairly simple and rectangular. Most of it is given over to the waiting room; it also holds an office fitted with a table, a bed and a cupboard, and a washroom where toilet and basin are kept apart. An awning and a mast lend the entrance a slender, imposing air, small as the building is; they would inspire the 1937 Pavillon des Temps Nouveaux.

The frame is light: fir-plank posts, plywood partitions inside and a Solomite roof, giving thermal and acoustic insulation. On the front, wired glass alternates with plate glass.
