Monuments of Legend - Churches of Light
Synopsis
How does light structure religious architecture, how does it help the viewer to navigate or perceive space? What does it mean for the building? Focus on : - Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene in Vézelay - Chapel of Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp - Metz Gothic Cathedral
From the solar mysticism of Vézelay to Le Corbusier's contemporary version, we discover how light allowed us to conceive and build space in these three examples.
