The exterior of the Notre Dame du Haut is simplistic, not beautiful (although the slope of the roof is nice). The interior design is striking in its layout, but overall both are ugly due to the materials used.
This building looks like a first draft of the final design, and really does not deserve to be used for religious purposes.
- AlanYx 4y ago>This building looks like a first draft The crazy thing is that Le Corbusier spent months on the design of the south wall. It wasn't a rushed project at all; this was late career Le Corbusier at the height of his creative vision. To me the south wall looks externally like a knock-off computer with a bunch of random ports, but that may just be personal idiosyncrasies.
- andrewzah 4y agoI assume that these projects took time and effort, but the finished results look to me like a half-baked render, like someone just forgot to finish the job. I'm not a fan of much of Le Corbusier's works, if any.
