Le Corbusier Continued and the Eames

by Allison Evans
The first picture is of the chapel of Notre Dame du Haut in Ronchamp. It was also designed by Le Corbusier. It is constructed of poured concrete which was very innovative for that time. The chapel sits on top of a hill and there is a youth hostel behind it.

The next watercolor is of Ray and Charles Eames' house. Their house was a case study house. It was all prefabricated and constructed of steel and a series of modular panels attached together. These panels were built off site and then transported to the building's location in Malibu.
