      As a lighting designer myself, the way Le Corbusier controlled the entrance of natural light has an overwhelmingly beautiful effect!

    • @dodezigns
      @dodezigns 5 лет назад +4

      There are interesting similarities on the use of light in both Le Corbusier's Ronchamp and the Rothko Chapel in Houston, Texas.

      @@dodezigns I think that the most interesting aspect of this building is its break from a strict orthogonal grid. Corbu used the structural grid as a point of departure in his most famous buildings such as the Villa Savoye. Here, however, the chapel is an interior free of columns and the entire assembly of parts is far more sculptural than anything else. You refer to this as "organic" -- I see it in more formal terms, without reference to living organisms. The building is its most iconic on the outside -- one could easily read it as a large work of art placed in the environment. The inside is the most functional thing about it but I could easily overlook that and just appreciate the entire thing in a more abstract way.

    I have had the privilege of visiting the chapel once (mid-80s) and was simply floored. I'm not the least bit religious but you cannot help but have a somber, reflective and dare I say spiritual mindset as you walk around this extraordinarily beautiful building. There are zero "church-ish" cliches; everything is entirely reworked from ground zero. The natural lighting is so, so, so, so subtly and carefully done. It is much, much smaller than you might expect but it utterly commands the landscape. It absolutely heaves and broods like it has been there for a billion years. I have never experienced another place like it and I remember the visit like it was yesterday.

    A truly iconic structure. Idiosyncratic, baffling, and seductive. It breaks some of my "rules" but it's a building that "grips" one. That is greatness.

  • @bb-nq5qc

    The juxtapositional layers of cinematography, description, titling at the opening of each sequence and the gentle and descriptive philosophy embedded in such organic verbiage , as conveyed through gentle dialogue precisely elicits the magic and raw spiritual beauty that Le Corbusier shared with us through his magical and pure design. This is not an easy accomplishment on your behalf, FourthWall. Very much admired and appreciated.

    I love this building.
    When I saw it for first time it brought multiple ideas into my mind. It was so different from the modern architecture, despite I love das Bauhaus Dessau, which I love very much, this building brought something different from the traditional architectural monuments, castles, Roman, Greek, and many others. Its texture, the thickness of the walls, the colored glass, the depths, the tranquility a true place nor just for a chapel, but for me even for a house, I must say that I incorporate this idea in to many other ideas, I have and I had drawings based in to this idea, still I am not an architect by professional school, I am a natural architect.
    Still is one of my favorite buildings, but I had so many favorites, infinite taste for different ones, but this one is a very important one. A singular one in many....

    I love the exposed concrete. The curved roof is so subtle and delitate at outside. The spout at the end is really powerful like an elephant trunk. There is ice hanging at the spout end in winter and water drops from it slowly to the concrete fountain. The triangle and the tube of the fountain contrast to each other like a symbolic day & night. Inside, when I first saw the convex roof, I really think it is so organic that just like a converted lobster shell. The seat is made of wood panel and concrete stand is more like an art rather than furniture. The stairs are always masterly manupilated by Corb. He can always manupilate concrete into a lovely scale and delicate work without effort.
    Strongly recommend to visit again in the evevning, mutiple golden rays will come from the window wall !

    Thank you for this excellent video. With a structure like this, as much a sculpture as a building, I am always interested in knowing how it was constructed, and there are some interesting photos on line of this. With so few straight lines in the design, I guessed that the concrete formers must have been very elaborate, and these photos confirm this.
    The mighty roof is the dominant feature, giving the impression of an impossibly heavy boulder balanced on flimsy walls. I was surprised to realise that it is in fact a giant scoop shape, which can be briefly seen in the aerial shot. All is explained!
    Another fascinating detail is the slender horizontal gap between the top of the walls and the roof, a gravity and logic defying effect, which feels like an unresolved chord in music, holding you in exquisite suspense.

    Hello, thanks so much for this great video, it recalled the good memories of my visit twenty years before when was still a student!
    Apart from the the famous light wall, I was also astonished by the way of water collected from the concrete roof, then through the gradeur "trunk" shape drain, drop to the unusual concrete fountain at west and returned to ground. This shows admire to nature element in a ceremonial way, in which the roof likes a mountain, rain receiving and collecting from sky, finally return to earth.
    The solid pyramid contrasts sharply to the hollow tube in the concrete fountain almost simulating the strength of day and night !
    After WW II, LC was engaged to African liked sculpture works. It shows a primitive way of admiration to the spirit of nature in his symbolic late works. The manipulation of light, water, raw concrete, wood, metal, raw colors is really full of strength and impacted me so much.
    When people hates the dark and dull image of those many bulky brutalism monster buildings, visit the Ronchamp chapel and Marsaille Unite Habitation, you will find the big differences of the origin masterpiece and the monster liked followers.

    • @FourthWallArchitecture
      @FourthWallArchitecture  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Kapo, thank you for the comment! I think overall Ronchamp has a lot of technological thinking behind, using very rudimentary construction methods - The time the buildings were built, resources were greatly limited.
      I personally loved the complexity and nuances together. It is a very "consistent" and "full" project, and not only this, he managed to bring this to many of his buildings... all that, with the location, and the sequence to the building, always make visiting Ronchamp special.

    Have visited this chapel at Ronchamp at least 3 times. As a retired architect, now living in New York City, this building is without question one of the most significant structures produced in the 20th Century. Ronchamp never fails to impress even those people who know absolutely nothing about modern architecture. Unfortunately this video presentation is all too short given the buildings importance. Also hoping to sometime see a video presentation on Lou Kahn's Kimbell Art Museum in this series of famous buildings.

  • @normanp.chesterton7397
    @normanp.chesterton7397 5 лет назад +6

    I will never be a fan of Corbusier, but I think I have disliked him for some wrong reasons. The construction materials he typically seems to use do not seem to hold up well: there is discoloration of the paint, cracks, chips, or the concrete starting to look like some drab construction from a Soviet housing block. Those, however, are issues of the building materials that he may not have been able to overcome at the time. I therefor wonder what his constructions would look like nowadays, if built with more modern building materials, or how his choices might have changed, if he had had access to the full range of modern construction techniques. Some of his designs might have been ahead of its times. When I view some slight photo manipulations, or even black and white photography, his constructions sometimes look like abstract paintings of blinding pure white. The fact that many of them now look grey and drab might be a big factor in why they are not liked more. That man has undoubtedly invested huge amounts of forethought and a level of care into his designs that cannot be taken for granted. Even if you might not like him, he certainly was great in his own right in many ways.
    The manual notes and accents in his building, although well-meaning and displaying a great deal of care, only worsen the above for me. They seem like little sights of human life in an otherwise artificial environment that appears algorithmically and mechanically designed, like a child that finger painted on a factory wall. Instead of giving it a human touch, it only heightens the unease in me, as if reminding me of the general inhospitality and sterility the overall structure exudes.
    Where his construction style is concerned, I think here most valid criticism can be had. Some of his designs seem to introduce softer features that appear like an attempt to lessen the harshness of the straight, harsh, artificial lines, but they often seem to do little but clash and excacerbate the feeling of discomfort and coldness through their contrast and seemingly awkward incorporation. His buildings appear official and uninviting at times, like a government office - a place you might want to visit, but where you would not want to stay.
    I'm sorry I sound so harsh and unappreciative, but that is not the case at all. This is a very well made video that does the intention of the design justice, I believe. I do not think that art should only evoke positive feelings in us. The particular sort of unease his designs evoke in me is a welcome reflection for me on what constitutes my own sense of beauty and I appreciate his work for that and many other reasons. The most expressive forms of art probably are also the most divisive, due to the intensity of emotion they should evoke. I do not blame the mirror for the way my face looks.

      Hi Norman! Thanks for the comment!
      In principle I agree with many of the things you wrote, however I think this buildings and concepts have to be placed in the time they were built to be understood better.
      In this case Ronchamp is built after WW2, dealing with bad industrial productions, european economy struggling…and the state of his projects change like day and night from one to another, due to maintenance. Overall I couldn’t evaluate the materials, honestly, his most recent buildings are 70 years old, and even with high quality materials from then, that´s quite some time already…
      Regarding the concepts, I think some of his projects are easier to live, or less harsh, while others focus on the goal, lacking some soul compared to other architects of the time - for my taste.
      However, I like to evaluate as well the quality of the concepts he developed. And in this case, they are undoubtedly priceless, just judging how relevant and alive/actual they still are after 80/100 years.

    could someone tell me, why in this particular proyect, le corbusier didnt use at all straight angles?

    • @CoronaTwerking

      Not an expert, but it probably has to do with the fact that curves and oblique angles produce more interesting results when hit by sunlight. When Le Corbusier wants to focus on light manipulation, he usually turns to the curve (see his church at Firminy)

    Not sure about the light. It was very dark inside, morbid in fact.

    This is a sculptural edifice that has great presence but it is not a warm, welcoming building. It is cold and harsh. Corb was not in touch with people and their needs. He was an artist not an architect.

    8:29 Am I the ONLY person who thinks the roof is supposed to represent Noah's Ark? Because from certain angles it sure as heck looks like a big old wooden boat.

    It soo ugly. I'd like to see his step by step design process. Like why this? Is it so fully functional it gives it a crap form?

    Pardon my poor comments on this building but I truly believe is on the uglier sad of architecture.
