The Pavilion Le Corbusier is an art museum designed by Le Corbusier in Zurich, Switzerland which is dedicated to the work of Le Corbusier. I personally thought that this was magnificent idea! This idea was Heidi Weber’s. Weber asked Le Corbusier to create a building that would be able to house a collection of his own work. Le Corbusier went above and beyond to do just that.  The building was the last building he designed before he passed away and it definitely one of his grandest. Le Corbusier took another bold step for architecture with the Pavilion Le Corbusier. In this building, Le Corbusier used framed steel and glass rather than the concrete and heavy stone that he was known for using. The building was much different than anything he had done before but it has style elements that are distinctly Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier seams to play with the idea of the weight of the materials in his buildings. The materials are heavy and strong materials like concrete and steel but Le Corbusier makes them seem weightless and featherless.  The roof of the Pavilion Le Corbusier is massive but it sits atop of the building as though it has just been effortlessly placed there.  I really like that about this building. The building just looks effortlessly beautiful. This building is also really vibrant and colorful which is another thing that I like about it.
