The site Corbusier, worldwide site of modern architecture
Corbusier, architect of international fame and founder of modern architecture, chose Firminy to conceive(design) his largest architectural set in Europe.
This unique(only) site groups(includes): the Community arts centre, the Stage(Stadium), the church Saint-Peter, the swimming pool and the Unity(Unit) of House (apartment-witness(-baton), nursery school, roof strikes down with its splendid open-air theatre and a fantastic view over vicinity).
Several types of visits - free or guided - give you the keys for reading these Historic monuments. You will discover on one hand the games(sets) of lights, of colours, of volumes and of other part the urbanistic main principles of the famous Charter of Athens.
