| Sumario: | [EN] Le Corbusier s Zurich Pavilion, built between 1964 and 1967 by his exclusive art and furniture dealer, Heidi Weber, is a model home that placed under two enormous steel umbrellas served to demonstrate the interaction of all the different creations of the artist-architect. In 2014, when Weber s lease of land expired, title to the pavilion fell to the City of Zurich, which decided to open it on a regular basis and run it as a Le Corbusier museum. A careful restoration set the building afloat again, based on the agreement that it could not be altered and used at will. While a number of relevant improvements was realized in the underground space, the sun-flooded but unheatable upper stories remained in their original state. The City formulated the potential uses according to the conditions that the restored pavilion dictated and finally entrusted the Museum für Gestaltung Zurich with its operation. The article shows how the specific climatic environments effectively shaped the design of the first three annual summer exhibitions. |
