Clever Confidential Ep. 5: Eileen Gray and the Aura of E-1027 [encore]

Clever Confidential is Clever’s offshoot series, where we dig into the darker side of design - the shadowy, sometimes sordid tales hiding under a glossy topcoat of respectable legacy. In Ep. 5 we explore the haunting tale of E-1027, an architectural masterpiece born of love but marred by betrayal, obsession, and tragedy. From its creation by Eileen Gray to its desecration by Le Corbusier, and its descent into decadence during World War II, this house has borne witness to some of humanity’s darkest and most beautiful moments. Hosts Amy Devers and Andrew Wagner uncover the secrets etched into its walls and the spirits that linger within. Many thanks to this episode’s guest expert Anthony Flint , author of Modern Man: The Life of Le Corbusier, Architect of Tomorrow and host of the Land Matters podcast.
