Celebrating 20 Years of Zentrum Paul Klee with "Le Corbusier: The Order of Things"
In celebration of its 20th anniversary, the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern is hosting a major exhibition titled "Le Corbusier. The Order of Things," running from February 8 to June 22, 2025. This exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of the Swiss-French artist-architect Le Corbusier's (1887–1965) extensive body of work, highlighting both his renowned pieces and lesser-known creations.
Le Corbusier, born Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, was a pivotal figure in modern architecture and design. His innovative approach seamlessly integrated art, design, and architecture, aiming to redefine living and urban spaces. This exhibition delves into his creative process, emphasizing his three-dimensional thinking and the artistic experiments conducted in his "studio of patient research." Visitors will encounter a rich collection of drawings, sketches, and models that shed light on his journey from artistic exploration to architectural realization.
The Zentrum Paul Klee, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano, is a cultural landmark in Bern, dedicated to the life and work of artist Paul Klee. This special exhibition on Le Corbusier not only commemorates the museum's two decades of cultural contribution but also offers a unique opportunity to engage with the works of another master of modernism.
This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the visionary world of Le Corbusier and gain insight into the mind of a genius who profoundly influenced modern architecture and design.
