Le Corbusier and the Occult by Jan Birksted Pdf

"Le Corbusier grew up in La Chaux-de-Fonds in Switzerland, a city described by Karl Marx as "one unified watchmaking industry." Among the unifying social structures of La Chaux-de-Fonds was the Loge L'Amitié, the Masonic lodge with its francophone moral, social, and philosophical ideas, including the symbolic iconography of the right angle (rectitude) and the compass (exactitude). Le Corbusier would later describe these as "my guide, my choice" and as his "time-honored ideas, ingrained and deep-rooted in the intellect, like entries from a catechism." Through exhaustive research that challenges long-held beliefs, J.K. Birksted's Le Corbusier and the Occult traces the structure of Le Corbusier's brand of modernist spatial and architectural ideas based on startling new documents in hitherto undiscovered family and local archives."--Publisher.

Thin Place Design by Phillip James Tabb Pdf

What makes the places we inhabit extraordinary? Why are some urban spaces more vital and restorative? Wonderful landscapes, inspiring works of architecture and urban design, and the numinous experiences that accompany them have been an integral dimension of our culture. Up-lifting spaces, dramatic use of natural light, harmonic proportional geometry, magical landscapes, historic sites and vital city centers create special, even sacred moments in architecture and planning. This quality of experience is often seen as an aesthetic purpose intended to inspire, ennoble, ensoul and spiritually renew. Architecture and urban spaces, functioning in this way, are considered to be thin places.

Le Corbusier by Danièle Pauly Pdf

The generating idea for the Chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut was conceived in 1950 and its construction was completed in 1955; it was the first of only two religious architectural works built by Le Corbusier (the second being the Monastery of La Tourette). The Chapel is generally perceived as a manifesto within Le Corbusier's work. It was the cause of many a controversy during its construction period. Today, Ronchamp is without a doubt the most frequently visited of Le Corbusier's buildings, rendering the site an architectural place of pilgrimage, promoted to the ranks of the most cherished and venerated of worldly treasures. This guide is not only an invitation to a promenade through the building - it is also an exploration of the different stages of the project itself and the architect's design process, largely drawn from Le Corbusier's own comments.

Sacred Concrete by Flora Samuel,Inge Linder-Gaillard Pdf

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; it introduces his designs for La Sainte-Baume, the Chapel of Notre Dame 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.

Le Corbusier--Ronchamp by SIEGRUN. KROMREI APPELT (CLAUDIA. KAPFINGER, OTTO.),Otto Kapfinger,Claudia Kromrei Pdf

An entirely new artistic approach to Le Corbusier's iconic chapel of Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp. Le Corbusier's chapel Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp is arguably the most famous modern religious building and a UNESCO world heritage site. It has been photographed by millions of people, including some of the most distinguished architectural photographers. In this book, Austrian artist Siegrun Appelt takes an entirely new approach to looking at the iconic structure, distinct from all her famous predecessors. Appelt focuses with an utter concentration on details, creating compositions of the highest sensitivity and precision. Her images highlight the place's spatial structure and lines, Le Corbusier's ingenious direction of light, as well as surfaces and passages. The images can be read as hints to these details and at the same time invite a conclusion from detail to the whole. Published alongside the images is a dialogue between Claudia Kromrei and Otto Kapfinger, in which they investigate the potential of photography to show Le Corbusier's means of expression and discuss the visualization and perception of material and immaterial elements of this icon of twentieth-century architecture.
