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.

취리히 호숫가, 취리히 호른 공원에는 르 코르뷔제를 기리는 건물이 있다. 대조적인 색채의 사각패널과 강철, 유리를 소재로 만들어진 건물은 한 눈에도 예사롭지 않았다. 르 코르뷔제는 현대 건축의 개념을 바꾼, 스위스가 낳은 20세기 최고의 건축가다. 이 건축물은 르 코르뷔제의 마지막 작품이다. 건물 내부는 벽돌을 일정한 곳에 고정시키지 않고, 자유롭게 재배치 할 수 있게 열린 공간으로 만들었다. 젊은 날 스위스에서 미술을 공부했던 건축가는 회화와 디자인 분야에서도 거장다운 솜씨를 보여주고 있다. 지붕은 파라솔 형태의 강철로 만들어 본 건물과 구조적으로 분리 돼 있다.

Centre Le Corbusier Zürich
Centre Le Corbusier Zürich CH -
The Centre Le Corbusier or Heidi Weber Museum is an art museum dedicated to the work of the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. In 1960, Heidi Weber had the vision to establish a museum designed by Le Corbusier. This building should exhibit his works of art in an ideal environment created by the architect himself. The building is located on the shore of the Lake Zürich nearby Zürichhorn in the Seefeld quarter. It is the last building designed by Le Corbusier marking a radical change of his achievement of using concrete and stone, framed in steel and glass, in the 1960s created as a signpost for the future. Le Corbusier made intensive use of prefabricated steel elements combined with multi-coloured enameled plates fitted to the central core, and above the complex he designed a 'free-floating' roof to keep the house protected from the rain and the sun. In 1960 Le Corbusier was mandated by Heidi Weber, a Swiss art collector and patron, to conceive a public exhibition building. One year later, the first drawings for a building to be constructed in concrete were presented, in 1962 the concept was changed to a steel building. Two years later the construction was started. In 1965 Le Corbusier died, and on July 15, 1967, the Centre Le Corbusier was officially inaugurated.

Le CORBUSIER - (1933) - SWISS Pavilion (Paris, France)
In 1924, Switzerland decided to built its student housing on the University Campus of Paris (Cité Universitaire - 2°20'31.59E]. The inauguration took place in July 1933. Considered to be one of the most free and imaginative structures of Le Corbusier [ the building represents a synthesis of three approaches. The first one advocates the autonomous slab free from any reference to the form of the land site. The second advocates an articulation of the slab by the means of specific functional elements, or a dialogue between industrial and natural materials. The third approach applies two of the five points of modern architecture: pilotis in exposed concrete and a roof terrace combining privacy and openness to the sky and sun. In many respects this buildings is a landmark, not only in the terms of Le Corbusier's own future development, but also for other architects who during the second half of the twentieth century developed their approach to architecture based to a considerable extent on Le Corbusier's pioneering experiments. Since 1945, the building has undergone several additional changes by Le Corbusier. In 1948, a wall painting was commissioned to replace the previous photo mural of 1933. In 1953, Le Corbusier transformed the southern curtain-wall in order to reduce the excessive solar impact and in 1957 he added a series of enamelled benches and a new polychromy to the rooms. On September 8th, 1965 the Swiss Pavillion was included in the register, and in 1986 confirmed and classified as a historical monument.

Trailer Pavillon Le Corbusier (EN)
The Pavillon Le Corbusier on Lake Zurich is considered an architectural jewel. The building was initiated by Heidi Weber, who commissioned Le Corbusier and oversaw its completion in 1967. It is the last building designed by the important architect and his only building made of steel and glass. After extensive renovation, the structure now shines in new splendor and invites visitors to take a unique “architectural promenade” through its various floors. Since 2019, the pavilion is run as a public museum by the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich on behalf of the City of Zurich.

Heidi Weber Museum – Center Le Corbusier, Zurich
Le Corbusier, Swiss architect, artist, engineer and philosopher designed this building as his last work.
Heidi Weber, a long time champion of Le Corbusier’s work, started the Foundation which bears her name with the aim of touring exhibitions of her Le Corbusier collection all over the world.
This short video shows the outside of the Center, on the shore of Lake Zurich, which was completed in 1967. The building consists of a steel frame with a roof of two square welded metal sheets. The walls of the two storeys are made of brightly coloured enamel panels, bolted to the frame. The rest is glass. Inside the museum, though not shown in the film, are exhibits of Le Corbusier’s sculptures, paintings, furniture and writing. The musical accompaniment is Si la Riguer by Ron and Wahneta Meixsell, from YouTube’s Audio Library.

Swiss Pavilion / Le Corbusier - 1930-1932
In 1930, Le Corbusier was tasked with designing a dormitory that would house Swiss students at the Cité Internationale Universitaire in Paris. At first the architect and Pierre Jeanneret, his partner at the time, refused to take on the project due to tensions with the Swiss after their handling of the architects' proposal for the League of Nations competition. Eventually, however, they agreed to see it through and worked on a very limited budget, which led the building to become a summation of Le Corbusier's modern principles, forcing him to focus on dwelling before all else. The Swiss Pavilion, or Pavillon Suisse, employed the architect's five points of architecture, building on them throughout the design. The building is elevated on pilotis that are close to its center, accentuating the 'floating' effect. The roof garden gives back to the city and serves the residents of the building, although it is not as animated as that of the Unite d'Habitation in Marseille. Three frames give the garden a view and reveal the unsophisticated structural elements. While strained by the limited budget, Le Corbusier manages to hold onto his free facade and open plan. Several moments in the project reveal a transparent skin with the structural support standing behind it, always maintaining the continuity of the elevations. Moreover, the open plan is controlled with architectural elements such as stairs as well as furniture, whether fixed or loose. View and light penetration also have their impact on the organization of the open plan, having been controlled by the free elevation. Le Corbusier was forced by the client to accommodate the public functions on the ground floor, a requirement he chose to respond to by separating the elevated student homes and creating an attached building on ground level for the common activities. In certain cases we also witness the ribbon windows becoming vertical curtain walls, one of the steps of transitioning the five elements from the scale of a villa to that of a vertical housing block, the epitome of which was the Unite d'Habitation, completed two decades later. The building sits lightly in its surrounding, a purist prism engulfed by greenery. Le Corbusier manages to use a budget constraint to develop his most basic principles, never sacrificing the beauty of space. The Pavillon Suisse comes as a development of the Villa Savoye in a sense, bringing the architect's principles to a larger and more lively structure, one closer to the city and the people.
Maison du Bresil Paris
Maison du Bresil / Le Corbusier / 1952-1959
Created as a microcosm of Brazilian life and culture, Maison du Bresil is a significant example of Le Corbusier’s high-density residential design. Inaugurated in 1959, it is one of twenty-three international residences at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris, located in the heart of Paris. As the “House of Brazil”, the building acts as both a residence hall for Brazilian academics, students, teachers, and artists, and as a hub for Brazilian culture, by providing exhibition spaces and archival resources.
The Brazilian government, under President Juscelino Kubitschek at the time, commissioned the building in 1952 to provide a residence for Brazilian graduate students in Paris, and to promote the relations between France and Brazil. To design the building, they selected Lúcio Costa, the architect most famous for his work planning Brasilia. After completing initial sketches, Costa reached out to Le Corbusier, with whom he had collaborated on the plans for Brasilia, to aid in the design process and overlook construction. Rather quickly, Corbusier made significant changes to Costa’s original design for the building. Although the major forms of the building remained the same, the changes were enough to estrange Costa from the project, and he would eventually have his name removed from the design.
The building, like Corbusier’s Swiss Pavilion (1932), is a five story concrete volume that stands above the ground on stilts, also made of concrete. Beneath this volume is an irregular first floor that houses administrative spaces in the west wing, and communal spaces, such as the library, the theatre, the exhibition space and gathering space, in the east. The two wings are joined underneath the building by a curvilinear passage that acts internally as an intermediate space, and externally as a boundary for outdoor arcades. The large volume above, which houses the residential spaces, is laid out with rooms in the west wing and communal kitchens, stairwells, and other facilities in the east. As such, the eastern and western facades differ according to their respective interior functions. The eastern facade has large glass expanses in the middle to allow for light and openness in the communal kitchens, and small square windows on either side to allow light to enter the flanking stairwells. Balconies painted with polychrome colors make up the entire western facade, very much like those of the Unite d’Habitation (1952). These balconies, unlike more typical balconies that protrude from the face of the building, actually define the building face as they are continuous both vertically and horizontally. Primary colors painted on the balcony interiors offer variance from the overall repetition, giving the façade’s composition a rhythmic character. Polychrome colors are also present throughout the first floor, most prominently in yellow, which help to define the character of the forms. The concrete throughout is treated with ‘betón brut’, a style Corbusier used often, for which the formwork of the concrete remains ingrained on the surface. The concrete, as a result, is rough and untreated and withholds much of the grain pattern of the wood that formed it. This process makes apparent the building’s construction and craft by revealing the raw materials and formative processes that constitute the building.

Le Corbusiers Pavillon für Zürich.
Abseits der grossen öffentlichen Wahrnehmung steht am Zürichhorn seit 1967 ein kleiner Pavillon des wohl einflussreichsten Architekten des 20. Jahrhunderts: Le Corbusier (1887--1965). Der erst nach dem Tod des Künstlerarchitekten fertiggestellte Bau war als Ausstellungspavillon konzipiert -- aber eigentlich ist letztlich etwas ganz anderes daraus geworden: eine Mischung aus Prototyp, Manifest und Vermächtnis. Als solche führt das Gebäude seit bald 50 Jahren ein Dasein als eine wenig beachtete Perle der Baukunst, des Designs und der Plastik.
Le Corbusier hatte für seinen letzten kleinen Wurf zahlreiche Skizzen angefertigt, bewährte Mitarbeiter auf das Projekt angesetzt und die Konstruktion gemeinsam mit dem genialen Ingenieur und Gestalter Jean Prouvé erarbeitet.
