Description
The Pavilion is a private art exhibition space located on the edge of a park. In 1960 Le Corbusier was mandated by Heidi Weber, a Swiss art collector and patron, to conceive a public exhibition building. [1] The building became the property of the city of Zürich represented by the newly created public Heidi Weber Foundation – Centre Le Corbusier. [2] Heidi Weber vacated the museum and removed images, sketches, sculptures, tapestry, furniture, the original models of the building, and an archive of Corbusier's letters and notes.
