    Tips

    Almost completely destroyed during the war, the reconstruction of Le Havre, which began in 1945, was entrusted to the office of the French architect Auguste Perret.
    Concrete specialists (Le Corbusier went to learn concrete construction from them), the Perret brothers decided to make Le Havre the place to implement their urban planning and construction thinking.
    Walking through the city and marveling at the typological richness of their buildings, visiting the Auguste Perret show apartment, and stopping at the Saint-Joseph church, is to fully experience the success of a utopia.
    The church, which is designed as a beacon for the city, implements the incredible stylistic richness of concrete, its raw strength, its capacity for elevation, the freedom it offers to the creation of free volumes: all of this staged in the service of worship: a jewel!
