Le Corbusier not only designed and built churches,
but also engaged intensely with religion and faith and, through his
oeuvre, had a significant impact on church architecture of the twentieth
century. The book explains Le Corbusier's relationship with religion;
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, Tadao Ando'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.
- The first comprehensive illustration of Le Corbusier's church architecture
- A detailed examination of the existing research material
- Third and revised edition
