Here's an undergraduate paper:

Zephir, Aaron. “Brussels 1958. Le Corbusier: Philips Pavilion, Brussels, 1958.” University of Maryland Online Exhibition of Honors Seminar "World's Fairs: Social and Architectural History," 2001-2003.

Online at http://www.lib.umd.edu/ARCH/honr219f/1958brus.html

Don't know who this is, can't vouch for accuracy, but it's great reading about the Pavilion, with a good amount of sources as well.

I've been told that there have been prior restorations of the film materials previously in Europe, but I don't have further details at present, only that there has been some work done in the past. Nederlands Filmmuseum will have those details.
