The Bellerive Muesum in Zürich has an exhibition of photographs taken by Rene Burri. Burri started to follow Corbuiser's work in 1955 with his camera. This exhibition shows a large part of images Burri took of Cobuiser's work, Corbusier himself and working progress.
The exhibition will go on until November 07th 2010.
