After World War II Le Corbusier was less interested in architecture of the "Machine Age." Instead of rectilinear geometries, his architecture is more "primitive" and sculptural. On a hill, this monumental pilgimage church is a dramatic form with the contrasts of a dark roof and the white-washed walls of rough masonry. View from the southeast where the two curving walls meet; right: above the door where the two curving walls meet (facing east)
The south wall and the roof line The south wall has punched-out windows randomly placed.
