Sommaire

In German-speaking Switzerland, the city of Zurich is in the cultural news with the reopening of the Le Corbusier Pavilion. Achieved in 1967, this work of art by the famous architect, who made concrete an instrument and a materiel of predilection, is a glass and stainless steel gem that sparkles with a new radiance. Placed on the grass, facing the lake of Zurich, this new museum is an invitation to an unusual architectural promenade.

For our greatest pleasure—in addition, a wide array of objects are presented here, which we need to discover as soon as possible.
