Pavillon Le Corbusier in Zürich, Switzerland

The Pavillon Le Corbusier in Zürich (Switzerland) is the last building designed by the Swiss architect Le Corbusier and his only building made of steel and glass. The Pavillon Le Corbusier exists thanks to the lifelong commitment of the interior designer, gallery owner and patron Heidi Weber. She convinced Le Corbusier to design this museum building in 1960, financed its construction, and brought the project to completion. The pavilion opened on 15 July 1967 as the Centre Le Corbusier - Heidi Weber Museum. Heidi Weber directed and curated the museum for 50 years. During this period, she organized numerous exhibitions to convey Le Corbusier’s work and ideas as a total work of art to a broad public. Since 2019, and after extensive renovation, the listed Pavillon Le Corbusier is operated by the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich on behalf of the City of Zurich. This video provides you with a walk-through of the building and an interview with the Head of Pavillon Le Corbusier, Simon Marius Zehnder.

Ici, on s'amuse à vivre un bâtiment, si c'était ma maison, je m'amuserais à y habiter ma vie entière.

What might look simple an direct is in fact a very complicated and detail oriented design. As a young architect I visited this pavillion shortly after it opened to the public in1968 while traveling around Europe to see Le Corbusier's built work. I was amazed by his use of steel and glass which was very usual for him and the way he connected these materials together was unique. Certainly not a cheap design which I'm sure required careful onsite coordination between the various building trades and the architect. We most likely will never see another example like it in the future. Simply an amazing piece of work!
