Description

"One of the most influential buildings of modern architecture and a landmark in the work of the celebrated architect Le Corbusier, the Chapel of Ronchamp has been a pilgrimage site for architects, students, and tourists since it first opened to the public in 1954. Situated on a hilltop near the Swiss border of eastern France, the famed building replaced an earlier chapel destroyed in World War II."--BOOK JACKET. "Le Corbusier intended the chapel to be experienced by visitors following a promenade around and through the chapel as if it were a freestanding work of sculpture. Ezra Stoller's photographs present the building just as the architect wanted it to be seen. Originally created for the Museum of Modern Art in 1955, Stoller's extraordinary images have become icons in their own right, indispensable documents of the chapel as it first appeared."--BOOK JACKET.
