Intro

Monumental buildings set the stage for political power. The exhibition sheds light on this questionable tradition based on Le Corbusier’s designs and visions.

Architecture and power have always felt a mutual attraction. Monumental buildings make power visible and consolidate its representation. In return, architects receive major commissions and fame while enjoying the long-term impact of their designs. Throughout history, this symbiosis has produced imposing buildings that are at times frightening to behold. Intimidating dimensions, monumental axes, and the formal language of antiquity are typical means employed in the architecture of power.

Le Corbusier (1887–1965) pursued major commissions throughout his life. His urban visions are by turns fascinating and disturbing. Especially in the interwar period, he proposed projects whose architecture signaled the aim to reorganize society—while in his search for potential clients he repeatedly failed to maintain a critical distance from fascism. Le Corbusier thus embraced a controversial architectural tradition that still resonates today.
