mar 10 ~ france ~ la tourette ~ part 3

we had to rush through the tgv station because we had an appointment here at la tourette, by le corbusier:


its a monastery... but a different sort of one...

corbu... and his "ears"... and use of color... and lines...
one of my favorite details in the building... when the door opens... it forms a cross.. with the window behind it....
i also love the windows... why are they colored?... corbu had the walls in the window channel painted.. so when light passes through... it floods the space also with that color
a better view of the chapel space

a secret prayer room underground ~
