Set against Lake Zurich, the Pavillion Le Corbusier stands as the final building completed by the influential and controversial Swiss architect – his only constructed entirely from steel and glass. Merging form and function in its clear shapes and colors, the space embodies the design philosophy that made Le Corbusier one of modern architecture’s most important figures – with a characteristic floating roof, colorful panels, and an imposing concrete staircase carved through its center. A regular visitor to the Pavillon Le Corbusier, Swiss Argentinian product designer Alfredo Häberli holds a unique connection with the space, finding sanctuary in its irregular levels. Returning with filmmaker Joan Minder, the pair create a visual dialogue between the Pavillon, the environment and its visitor, capturing the intersection of architecture, art and human experience for short film.
