Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut

The Chapelle Notre Dame du Hautl, which was designed by French architect Le Corbusier, is a catholic church in Ronchamp, France that has rightfully earned its spot in the world of highly praised historic architecture due to its striking modern characteristics (especially for a Catholic structure) and the use of form and function implemented into the materials and forms. When first glancing at the chapel, your eye is drawn to the whitewashed walls upwards onto the organic, abstract wood-textured roof. The natural materials and colors of the chapel compliment itself in its environment- with the vast, rolling green hills and forestry. The entire scene makes one feel peaceful, relaxed, and comfortable in their spiritual sanctuary.
