Here you will be enthralled, as Tone Wheeler, architect and President of the Australian Architecture Association, reveals the story of how this iconic building was conceived and executed.

Ronchamp is Le Corbusier’s most famous building, but most people only know it from one photo, and this singular view leads to a limited understanding of just how brilliant this building is. 

The chapel is a result of an intense process, both personal and pragmatic, and a detailed understanding of that process can lead to a completely different view. 

We will acquaint ourselves with the history, and then to do an analysis of Le Corbusier’s design thinking, his ideas and concepts that gave rise to the form, and we will thoroughly crawl over ever part of the building. 

It was extraordinarily radical, controversial and confronting, and many leading architects were horrified, but later held it up as one of the greats of the 20th Century. 

Listen to this detailed 'behind the scenes take' to find out why it is such an important work of art and architecture.
