Pavillon Le Corbusier

This guide to the Pavillon Le Corbusier in Zurich follows Heidi Weber, the Swiss art dealer who convinced architect Le Corbusier, beside this lake in 1960, to design a museum for his own art. It traces his sole steel-and-glass building through his death in 1965 and the debts Weber ran up selling his work at Sotheby's to keep construction moving. You'll hear about the two floating steel roof canopies overhead and the thousands of bolts holding them together. The guide raises a quiet question about whose name a building like this is meant to carry.
