Architecture
with and without Le Corbusier documents two architectural masterpieces:
the Church at Firminy and The Miller House. The church is a late work
by Le Corbusier that was left unfinished for 40 years. José Oubrerie, a
protégé of the great master who had worked on the project from its
inception, completed and built the canonical work, adapting it to
current needs and standards while respecting the integrity of the
original design. The Miller House, Oubrerie's own late masterpiece from
the 90s, is a landmark in Lexington where the architect devotes his
mature years to academic leadership at the University of Kentucky. It is
firmly on its way to securing a permanent place in the modernist canon.
The thorough documentation of the two buildings with an extensive
collection of previously unpublished drawings, documents and photographs
builds a precise and vivid testimony of Oubrerie's unique architectural
trajectory with Le Corbusier's formidable legacy as a formative and
creative influence. The two seminal works, presented side by side with
commentary by George Renalli and Kenneth Frampton yield insight into the
evolution and current resonance of modernist architecture in a story
that spans two worlds and two distinguished careers.
