<p> Die Wallfahrtskirche Notre-Dame-Du-Haut in Ronchamp (1950-1954), Ikone der modernen Architektur, stellt einen der zentralen Bauten in Le Corbusiers Spätwerk dar. Auf einem Hochplateau der Vogesen oberhalb Belforts gelegen, ist dieser Bau ein in Raum- und Formgestaltung einzigartiges Kunstwerk, das sich einmalig in seine Umgebung einpaßt. Das muschelförmige Dach, die gerundeten Mauern, die Türme aus Steinmauerwerk sowie die durch farbige Glasöffnungen rhythmisierte Fassade sind wesentliche Bestandteile dieser skulpturalen Konstruktion. 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 Laien unentbehrlich. </p>

<p> 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. </p>
