Le Corbusier, the legendary Swiss modernist will be honoured by a blockbuster international exhibition in October as part of Liverpool’s year as European Capital of Culture.

Although the exhibition started life in Rotterdam last year and Corb’s only British building was a temporary stand for the 1930 Interbuild exhibition, it will be given a special British twist in Liverpool.

It will explore a little-known dialogue between the arch-modernist and the great classical English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose secret crypt below Liverpool’s Roman Catholic cathedral will be the exhibition venue.

The exhibition will run at Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral’s crypt from 2 October to 18 January 2009, and then at the Barbican Art Gallery in London from 19 February to 24 May.
