Am Ufer des Zürichsees steht das einzige Werk des Jahrhundertarchitekten Le Corbusier in der deutschen Schweiz: ein nach dem Proportionssystem Modulor entworfener Ausstellungsbau im Massstab eines Wohnhauses, der das ästhetische Potenzial einer elementaren Vorfabrikation als Rahmen für die Präsentation von Malerei, Plastik, Fotografie und Mobiliar veranschaulicht. Von der Zürcher Galeristin Heidi Weber initiiert und 1967 eröffnet, bündelt die aus Stahl, Glas und Neopren erbaute maison d'homme zentrale Themen Le Corbusiers und deutet zugleich neue Entwicklungen an. In minutiöser Kleinarbeit gelang es Silvio Schmed und Arthur Rüegg, den Bau in den Originalzustand zurückzuführen und die fehlenden Möbel und Leuchten detailgenau zu rekonstruieren. Das Buch gibt Einblick in die Ergebnisse ihrer fast archäologischen Sondierungen, stellt den Experimentalbau in seinen historischen Dimensionen dar und zeigt bisher noch nie publiziertes Bildmaterial aus dessen Bauzeit. Mit einem Vorwort von Wiebke Rösler Häfliger und Beiträgen von Arthur Rüegg & Silvio Schmed und Roger Strub. --Publisher's website.

Situated on the shore of the Lake Zurich, Le Corbusier’s exhibition pavilion is his last realized design. Based on his Modulor proportional system and at the scale of a single-family home, it demonstrates the potential of prefabricated elements to form a perfect space for art and design. Commissioned in 1960 by Heidi Weber, Zurich-based gallery owner and patron of Le Corbusier the visual artist, this structure in steel and glass represents pivotal aspects of his architectural philosophy and also points to the future. Architects Silvio Schmed and Arthur Rüegg have carefully restored the Pavillon Le Corbusier to its original state, including the reconstruction of missing pieces of furniture and luminaires. This book documents their research and the restored building, featuring previously unpublished historic photographs and documents alongside newly commissioned images by Georg Aerni. With a foreword by Wiebke Rösler Häfliger and contributions Arthur Rüegg & Silvio Schmed, and Roger Strub. --Publisher's website.
