The book explains Le Corbusier's relationship with religion; it introduces his designs for La Sainte-Baume, the Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut de Ronchamp, La Tourette monastery, and the church of St. Pierre, and investigates his impact on the ensuing modern church architecture in Europe. This includes the Jubilee Church by Richard Meier, the Ignatius Chapel by Steven Holl, the Santa Maria Church by Álvaro Siza, TadaoAndo's Meditation Space, and the Chapel of Reconciliation by Reitermann & Sassenroth. For the third edition, the introduction, the conclusion, and the bibliography have been revised and supplemented"-- 0aLe Corbusier9123980d1887-1965xCriticism and interpretation 0aLe Corbusier9123980d1887-1965xBiography 0aChurch architecture973282xHistory 0aConcrete construction9212409xHistory 0aReligious architecture9268556xHistory1 aLinder-Gaillard, Inge,eauthor. 2lccc27eThird and revised editionhNA1053.J4kGeneralmA4 2024 c305743d305743 00102lcc4070a4b4c33d2026-02-24eAmazong61.04l0oGeneral NA1053.J4 A4 2024p91000000753160r2026-02-24 09:56:11t1v71.04w0000-00-00y27
