CONVENTO THE Tourette
Le Corbusier
Eveux on l'Arbresle.Lyon.Francia.1960
Built in 1953 by Le Corbusier under the express wishes of the Dominicans, the convent of La Tourette is a masterpiece of architecture and a living witness of the cultural heritage XX.En century countryside, in a small plain near the forest the convent is an austere concrete piece that shows traces of its construction process: Casting joints and texture zimbra. Concrete, industrial material par excellence, acquires an almost artisanal here, proud of its imperfections. Similarly, modulating the set, principle structure observed in the rhythm of their piles, produces complex spaces.
