Le CORBUSIER - (1933) - SWISS Pavilion (Paris, France)

In 1924, Switzerland decided to built its student housing on the University Campus of Paris (Cité Universitaire http://www.ciup.fr/)[48°49'4.82"N - 2°20'31.59"E]. The inauguration took place in July 1933. Considered to be one of "the most free and imaginative structures" of Le Corbusier [http://www.fondationlecorbusier.fr/], the building represents a synthesis of three approaches. The first one advocates the autonomous slab free from any reference to the form of the land site. The second advocates an articulation of the slab by the means of specific functional elements, or a dialogue between industrial and "natural" materials. The third approach applies two of the five points of modern architecture: pilotis in exposed concrete and a roof terrace combining privacy and openness to the sky and sun. In many respects this buildings is a landmark, not only in the terms of Le Corbusier's own future development, but also for other architects who during the second half of the twentieth century developed their approach to architecture based to a considerable extent on Le Corbusier's pioneering experiments. Since 1945, the building has undergone several additional changes by Le Corbusier. In 1948, a wall painting was commissioned to replace the previous photo mural of 1933. In 1953, Le Corbusier transformed the southern curtain-wall in order to reduce the excessive solar impact and in 1957 he added a series of enamelled benches and a new polychromy to the rooms. On September 8th, 1965 the Swiss Pavillion was included in the register, and in 1986 confirmed and classified as a historical monument.

Le CORBUSIER - (1959) - Maison du Brésil (Paris, France)

This housing block at the Cité Universitaire complex in Paris (coordinates 48°49'04 N - 02°20'37 E) was designed by Le Corbusier for Brazilian students and researchers, was opened June 24, 1959. Initially, the design had been assigned to the great Brazilian architect Lucio Costa. The latter appealed to his friend Le Corbusier, already author of the Swiss Foundation, to help develop the project. But the project was so profoundly changed from the initial sketch that Lucio Costa abandoned his paternity of the house!

Gio PONTI - (1970) - Co-Cathedral "Great Mother of God" - (Taranto, Italy)

This Church the "Great Mother of God" is the Co-Cathedral of Taranto. Designed by Giò (Giovanni) Ponti (18 November 1891, Milan -- 16 September 1979, Milan) one of the most important Italian architects, industrial designers, furniture designers, artists, and publishers of the twentieth century. It was conceived considering the close link with the maritime tradition of Taranto. The façade, in fact, represents a kind of canopy that reflects in the pools of the courtyard to symbolize the sea. These perforated reinforced concrete structures reach 50 meters in height and contain the stairs to the use of the tower hidden in the structures of the wing. The interior has three aisles from the essential character in the coating in white plaster, green and ocher. Even in the decorations, there is the hand of the architect, Gio Ponti in fact to give prepared and the Annunciation painted on canvas, the seats for the dignity of the Chapter and stalls for the rest of the canons. The same baptismal font in the chapel of the same name in the middle of the aisle, was designed by Ponti.

Renzo PIANO - (1991) - Rue de Meaux HOUSING (Paris, France)

This residential complex in the 19th district of Paris is Composed of 220 low cost apartaments. The homes all face a central internal garden planted with birch trees. Research into the grani and color of materials led to the creation of a "double-skinned" facade system and the use of terracotta. Applying GRC technology, Renzo Piano [http://www.rpbw.com/] has taken the prefabricated panel to a new level of architectonic sophistication and excellence. "The Rue de Meaux Housing (1991) in Paris exemplifies Piano's ability to bring together innovation and exacting craftsmanship with knowledge of the technical aspects of the production of buildings to achieve new and successful results. The appeal of the building's terra cotta cladding brought a durable surface material back into popularity, while revealing its potential for frank elegance, in contrast to neoclassical applications that often disguised the material."

Julio Garcia LAFUENTE - The SANCTUARY of Merciful Love

2012-02-04T15:56:48.772Z

The exterior, the convex, penetrates alternating in a subtle dialectical play with the concave: the distinction between inner and outer space is so broken. Here is founded the most valuable of the church and Julio Lafuente can be satisfied with the level achieved, because this continuity between interior and exterior space is one of the goals it has set itself the best modern architecture. In the small town of Collevalenza is located the Sanctuary of Merciful Love. Designed by the architect Giulio Lafuente of Madrid in 1965. High, almost plane on the hill where is located, rendered prospectively even higher from the steep stairway access, the Sanctuary offers itself to the sight of the visitor, in particular for the gigantic canopy that breaks the façade, with a severe and impactand effect. And this severity, as lightened by the concave glass and the diagonal of the coverage gap, doesn't weigh less on the soul. Feel wanted and eloquently alluded to the weight that the pilgrim brings in and that he was invited to testify. Handmade bricks one by one: a material that speaks a language of poverty, humility in life. Then concrete, simple, raw, naked, and even local stone, rough-hewn hammer, or sleek by force of arms. Finally glass, both white and colored, in a glory of light and transparency, all bound together by the immense love of her foundress Mother of Jesus Hope Alhama Valera, for all just "Mother Hope" (Madre Speranza). The system consists of 15 elevation Towers, one of which, the apse, is divided into two halves opened to the outside, contradicting the usual individually contact the apse of the Christian Churches to the interior space, limiting and ending on the back the presbytery. But here, in Collevalenza, the apse is open in two halves and suggests to the outside, because its architect intended it to materialize "the notion that the sacred is part of" the whole world. Last chapel, the Spanish artist Vaquero Turcios has been a tapestry of the figures of St. Peter and St. Paul. The image of the two apostles, as two large columns, suggesting the strength of God's mercy, which is capable of turning men from sinners to saints of exceptional spiritual greatness.
There is also a great organ of the house Tamburrini, which extends toward the altar a beam of bright copper trumpets.
