The Heidi Weber Museum, Centre Le Corbusier The project The Heidi Weber Museum, Centre Le Corbusier is a pavilion designed by Le Corbusier and inaugurated on 1967. It was initially designed as a private house, the many spaces of the Centre Le Corbusier have fared well as an exhibition and learning centre. In 1960, Heidi Weber had the idea of a building museum designed by Le Corbusier. This building should exhibit his works of art in it has to have an ideal environment created by L-C himself. This is the last building designed by L-C and it was completed in July 1967. Today, it is still a unique "Gesamtkunstwerk" that means a complete work of art. Is located on the wooded shores of Lake Zurich, in Switzerland. Geographically, Lake Zürich is located in the southwestern part of the canton of    Zürich  , formed by theriver          Linth  The structure The pavilion is mostly built with steel and glass (contrasting with all le corbusiers designs) it has colors panels that protect the structure from the sun and the rain working as walls. The roof  c   onsists of two square parts. Each side has a surface of 12m x 12m. The total ground surface of the roof is 12.0m x 26.3m. it surrender all the building, the roof was prefabricated in the steel manufactory and thereafter, in the biggest possible units, transported to the building site, where it was assembled on the ground. The two finally welded parts of the roof were then lifted to their final height (9m) by a crane and fixed on the pillars. After the the roof was built,    the construction process benefited from the independent roof protection which was at that time already in its right place. All the structure itself consists of cubes of 2.26 x 2.26m, which were are assembled on the site. Walls, windows, ceilings and floors were installed on to the steel frame. The walls consist of colors panels measuring 1.13 x 2.26m. The placing of these panels was planned according to a particular rhythmic system, according to the modulor system. The Modulor system was created by le Corbusier and consisted that any structure should be measured according the human size, the human proportion, like the phi number. The entire building complex was placed on a concrete ground floor. The building has three levels, ground floor the first floor and then the terrace.

 It’s an artistic place to learn a little bit more about art…  the building itself is an artistic work, a place to remember Le Corbusier...
