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.

[note from 2009.7.15: the exhibition lacks a little real substance - nothing new if you know Le Corbusier work]

Interesting information about Le Corbusier. Thanks.
Unfortunately this exhibition doesn't provide any new information about Le Corbusiers work for the architectural intersted. Wellknown projects, nicely arranged, described with favour but without Le Corbusiers words (they only present covers of books and magazines) and without any ambition to show the ambiguity of this architect, who probably would have built for any regime..
