dc.description.abstractThe recent discovery that “Corbu is baroque,” as he mockingly puts it, fits not at all with what he stands for. “Baroque” is “an accusation,” a dismissal of the sincerity of a life’s work hastily produced by frenzied journalism rather than thoughtful criticism, proof of a superficial interest in the psyche of the star architect to the detriment of his work. Le Corbusier scorns the speculation about his personal beliefs that the architecture of the chapel invites and he ends his preface by accusing certain journalists of “[breaking] the rules” and entering the site of the chapel before its inauguration, “[gunning] me with their flash-cameras.” One of them, an American of course, pursued him with the question of whether it required a Catholic to build such a chapel. Le Corbusier replied with “foutez-moi le camp.”2
