To mark its 20th anniversary, the Zentrum Paul Klee is dedicating a major exhibition to the Swiss-French artist-architect Le Corbusier.
As one of the most influential protagonists of modernist architecture and art, Le Corbusier attempted to redesign and "organize" the world according to his ideas with unbridled creativity and an enormous drive to create a new living environment through functional and aesthetic architecture. Some of his architecture is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The exhibition focuses on Le Corbusier's sculptural thinking and design. The focus is on the prearchitecture: the artistic experiment in the "studio of patient research", as Le Corbusier described his artistic activity; the approach to the architectural form in studies and plans; the artistic examination of color and form, composition and space - and the sources that flow into the process: from found objects on the beach to the architecture of antiquity.
