To coincide with its 20-year anniversary, the Zentrum Paul Klee is devoting a major exhibition to the Swiss-French artist-architect Le Corbusier (1887–1965).

The exhibition focuses on the working process of the Swiss-French artist-architect, designer and urban planner, and places Le Corbusier’s three-dimensional thought centre-stage. It offers a comprehensive overview of his entire output from an artistic perspective, and includes both iconic items and groups of works that have so far remained largely unknown.

Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, world famous under the pseudonym Le Corbusier, is one of the most important guiding lights of modern architecture in Switzerland. He was also among the most prominent and globally influential protagonists of international modernism. Le Corbusier shaped modern architecture with enormous energy, radical visions and provocative rhetoric. In his work he set out to design living and urban spaces in a new way. His approach combined art, design and architecture.
