Ronchamp: La Chapelle Du Pelerinage a Notre-Dame Du Haut de Le Corbusier: Histoire, Architecture Et Spiritualite

The French Pilgrimage Church of Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp is not just a destination for pilgrims from around the world, but also for people who are interested in art and architecture. This compact book describes the history of earlier churches that stood on the site, the research and discussions for the new building, the various approaches by Le Corbusier, and the different building phases up to the consecration. The book combines art and spirituality in words and pictures, and gives readers a tour around the church, with special attention paid to architecture, the unique quality of the area's light, and impressions of the church's acoustic qualities.
