Waseda University research teams conducted the first measurement surveys of the Maison des P\u00e8lerins and the Maison du Gardien since the buildings were completed, and last year, the university formed a research group to carry out measurement surveys of the main chapel building.This exhibition will present the drawings produced from these surveys together with precious cyanotypes actually used by Le Corbusier on site that have been preserved at the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut. These items should offer one with a feel of the architect\u2019s living breaths from the time of the project\u2019s construction and of his dialogue with Ronchamp Hill. Jean-Fran\u03c2ois Mathey, an expert on matters about the site, will be invited from Ronchamp to take part in a symposium during the exhibition period.<\/p>\n<p>Takamasa Yosizaka, who had been studying at Le Corbusier\u2019s atelier around the time of the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut project, taught at Waseda University\u2019s architecture department after returning to Japan and went on to nurture many architects. Drawings that Yosizaka drafted at Le Corbusier\u2019s atelier during his time in France will also be featured in this exhibition. They should provide clues for us to understand what Yosizaka had learned at the time when the Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut project was beginning to take shape.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo is up for listing with 16 other buildings around the world, all designed by Le Corbusier, as a World Heritage site. The nomination will be finalized this month during a UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Istanbul. We hope this exhibition will provide you with the opportunity to learn more about Le Corbusier and his contributions to the world of architecture.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"addicn\"
