The pilgrimage church Notre-Dame-du-Haut in Ronchamp (1950–54), an icon of modern architecture, represents one of the central buildings of Le Corbusier’s late period. Located on a high plateau in the Vosges above Belfort, this building is an unsurpassed work of art which also fits uniquely into its physical surroundings. The shell-shaped roof, the rounded walls, the towers of stone masonry, and the facade with its rhythmic openings of colored glass are the essential elements of this sculptural construction. The scale and proportions of the chapel at Ronchamp are designed on the basis of the Modulor that Le Corbusier developed, which accounts for its distinctive spatial effect. Like all the guides in this series, this book is indispensable both for a specialist audience and for tourists interested in architecture and modern art.

Die Kapelle von Ronchamp ist in ihren Maßstäben und Proportionen nach dem von Le Corbusier entwickelten "Modulor" entworfen und erhält auch von daher ihre besondere räumliche Wirkung. Wie alle Guides dieser Reihe ist das Buch sowohl für das Fachpublikum als auch für an Architektur und moderner Kunst interessierte Touristen unentbehrlich. Es eignet sich zudem als apartes Geschenkbuch.
Here is a contemporary Mi'kmaq legend of the life of a great man, who becomes chief, the embodiment of Mi'kmaq values of humility, courage, honour, service and sacrifice of personal gain for the sake of others. He lived a long and storied life, hundreds of years ago, before the arrival of the European scouts and, later, their warships. He was a renowned warrior but, more so, a peacemaker. His people followed him to the point of devotion, yet he was uncannily modest, even embarrassed by his own achievements. He suffered great loss, yet his understanding of his place, his role in a great society, a greater natural world and an inestimable metaphysical world, guided him through his pain. Mi'kmaq readers may recognize these time-honoured themes based on traditional tales passing values generation to generation. Others will gain a new appreciation for what was lost under colonialism and the attempted genocide of this vibrant, sophisticated and successful culture and society. With We Were Not the Savages, Daniel Paul changed the way the world understood the history of Eastern Canada and the fully developed civilization that existed before the arrival of the European explorers and settlers, and the nature of the subsequent violent attack on that culture. With Chief Lightning Bolt, Paul shows us exactly what was lost, the beauty of the Mi'kma'ki that once existed, the culture that survived and is only now beginning to recover.
La chapelle de pèlerinage Notre-Dame-Du-Haut à Ronchamp (1950-1954), emblème de l’architecture moderne, représente une des réalisations clés de Le Corbusier sur la fin de sa carrière. Situé dans les Vosges, sur une colline dominant Belfort, cet édifice est une œuvre d’art unique en son genre par le traitement de la forme et de l’espace, qui se fond de manière extraordinaire dans son environnement. Le toit en forme de conque, les murs courbes, les tours en maçonnerie de pierre ainsi que la façade rythmée par des baies vitrées colorées sont des composants essentiels de cette construction sculpturale. Comme tous les guides de cette collection, cet ouvrage est un incontournable pour les spécialistes ainsi que pour les touristes s’intéressant à l’architecture et à l’art moderne. C’est aussi un cadeau original.
