Situated on the shore of the Lake
Zurich, Le Corbusier's exhibition pavilion is his last realised design.
Based on his Modulor proportional system and at the scale of a
single-family home, it demonstrates the potential of prefabricated
elements to form a perfect space for art and design. Commissioned in
1960 by Heidi Weber, Zurich-based gallery owner and patron of Le
Corbusier the visual artist, this structure in steel and glass
represents pivotal aspects of his architectural philosophy and also
points to the future.


Architects Silvio Schmed and Arthur Rüegg
have carefully restored the Pavillon Le Corbusier to its original state,
including the reconstruction of missing pieces of furniture and
luminaires. This book documents their research and the restored
building, featuring previously unpublished historic photographs and
documents alongside newly commissioned images by Georg Aerni.
