Abstract

Several times, Le Corbusier appears quite proud of those testimonies that point up a valuable link between his architecture and the architecture of the early Christian churches. This article pinpoints the subtle but intense correlation between the original content of liturgical traditions and the mechanisms of the direct lighting used in the church of Saint-Pierre of Firminy-Vert; a relation that at the same time exhibits the poetic connotations of the light sources, which in this project become a powerful tool able to unleash our emotions under the attentive eye of the architect.
