Built by Le Corbusier for a young rich bachelor in Paris’s swanky 16eme, it was the Swiss architect’a first completed project. If you care about how design and architecture have since evolved, it’s really cool to see le Corb’s early work and how he was ALREADY playing so much and so well with light, windows and space. Every view looked like a tableau of a beautiful movie set.

Not religious myself, but I’m a big fan of the architecture and quiet gardens surrounding it. The chapel itself was closed when I visited, and the glass walls acted as an uncanny barrier between myself and what seemed a space frozen in time—both separate and joined to the world outside of it.

Happy Wednesday! In honor of recently watching The Brutalist (highly recommend) I wanted to share my favorite brutalist building with ya’ll!
This is the Church of the Light built by Tadao Ando just outside Osaka in 1999. The material choice and size of the space creates this insanely ethereal feeling as the light spills in from the window..
My favorite part of this building is how simple yet impactful it is, and I recently did a project in school experimenting with light like Ando did!
