Flaine, architect Marcel Breuer’s 1969 brutalist s Flaine, architect Marcel Breuer’s 1969 brutalist ski resort in the Giffre Mountain range. 

The driving force leading the project to bring Breuer to the mountains was the US-based French couple, Eric and Sylvie Boissonnas. They and their extended family (the de Menil and Schlumbergers) were part of the philanthropic modernist architecture and arts scene in the US, underpinned by oil money. According to Centre Art de Flaine, ‘They entrusted the construction of their home at Cap Bénat to Philip Johnson who, like Marcel Breuer, was living in their neighbourhood in New Canaan, Connecticut.’ 

In the late 1950s developing luxury winter destinations was back in fashion. Keen to put Flaine on the map as a sophisticated skiing resort, the Boissannas’ had the necessary financial clout to achieve it. Sylvie’s particular interest was to develop the resort’s arts and culture scene, by all accounts she’d already donated some major art works to the Pompidou in Paris. In any other set of circumstances it would have been unusual to open a resort gallery with a Picasso in place, but quite the contrary in the case of Flaine, Sylvie ensured that Le Boqueteau by Jean Dubuffet and Head of a Woman by Picasso came to the mountains.

Breuer worked on the project from 1960 until he retired in 1977,  juggling his time there whilst continuing to work on other projects in the US.

Atelier 5’s Flamatt I and II situated according to Atelier 5’s Flamatt I and II situated according to @sosbrutalism between two creeks in a rural setting in Wünnewil-Flamatt, Switzerland. The photographer Adam Štěch notes it’s got a lot of Corbusier in Chandigarh about it. 

Atelier 5 was founded in Bern, Switzerland in 1955 by Erwin Fritz, Samuel Gerber, Rolf Hesterberg, Hans Hostettler, Alfredo Pini and later joined by Niklaus Morgenthaler and Fritz Thormann. Amongst their notable projects were the Halen Housing Estate, Thalmatt Flamatt I and II and Wohnbauten Brunnadern in Bern.
