Le Corbusier in Berlin.

Berlin’s Martin-Gropius-Bau is presenting the first comprehensive exhibition since 1987 of the wide-ranging work of the Swiss architect Le Corbusier. The exhibition provides a chronological survey of his 60-year oeuvre. It’s divided into three areas – “Contexts”, “Privacy and Publicity” and “Built Art” – themes that are important to an understanding of Le Corbusier’s work.
