Ronchamp, France 10.29.07

Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut, Le Corbusier. Iconic, perhaps cliché, shot from the grassy slope (actually spot with no grass because everyone stands there to take their picture). I chose to be no different.

Another from atop the zigurat.





Series of pictures of the sculptural roof. After seeing so much Picasso in practically every museum we went to, one can start to see the parallels between the art and architecture of the two, and a reflection of that period.
Side note: Renzo Piano is designing a convent on the current parking lot site, due to be completed in 2008. what a challenge. any guesses on what it's going to look like?
