Église St-Joseph

Perret’s masterful, 107m-high Église St-Joseph, visible from all over town, was built using bare concrete from 1951 to 1959. Some 13,000 panels of colored glass make the soaring, somber interior particularly striking when it's sunny. Stained-glass artist Marguerite Huré created a cohesive masterpiece in her collaboration with Perret, and her use of shading and color was thoughtfully conceived, evoking different moods depending on where the sun is in the sky – and the ensuing colors created by the illumination.
