A Brand-New Corbu.


The uncompleted (1960) church St-Pierre in Firminy (France) by Le Corbusier is going to be finished. Scheduled for completion in the summer of 2006, Saint-Pierre will soon no longer look like a bunker. Le Corbusier designed several building in Firminy : a Unités d'Habitation, as well as a cultural center, a stadium and a church. When Le Corbusier died, most of his buildings were still under construction. Now it's getting a hot-spot place for Corbusier fans. See a video-presentation of the construction in progress.
