Because the Marseille apartment built by 1952 was too controversial, Cobb worked in secret at first. Seeing that other projects were completed one after another, the progress of the St. Pierre project was slow, and it was not completed until 4 1 year after Cobb's death. It is the longest, most bumpy and most wonderful of Cobb's works. A church that looks ordinary: St. Pierre's Church.
But when you step into it, you will be completely shocked by its unique hole.
The dazzling flash on the wall is scattered and trance, as if in the sea of stars.
Observe the shape of Orion nebula at close range.
On the other side of the nebula, the pattern of light floats, and as the sun moves forward, it ripples like a water wave, and the church is shrouded. In a strange dream, it is quiet and soft, like idle time in the afternoon.
During this period, the stained glass reveals its color, which looks from a distance and echoes neatly.
Bring some bright colors to the church occupied by warm light. At the top of the church, one side is round, and the two holes look down on all beings like a pair of eyes.
The bright red, yellow and bright colors in the light add a little magic to the church, nourishing the pious soul like the sun and the moon.
The whole church is shrouded in dark light, solemn and full of agility, mysterious and solemn. Under the appearance of modern architecture, there is a classical aestheticism.
At first glance, many people think that the beauty of St. Pierre's church depends on the developed artificial lighting, but the fact is completely different.
If you look carefully, you will find that one side of the outer wall of the church is covered with tiny round holes. This is the origin of its beautiful starry sky-the holes are filled with plexiglass, and the light refracts in from the outside, forming the effect of starry sky indoors.
The incoming light is projected on the opposite wall, and after being reflected by the thread, it forms a floating light, which makes people feel amazing.
The circle with two holes on the top side will directly introduce light into the room and become the main lighting here. As time moves, the light rotates and the light beam records time like a sundial.
The lighting of the whole church uses natural light, refraction, reflection and diffuse reflection, and only uses the simplest physical laws, but it has created a generation of legends.
It is such a church with ingenious design and amazing vision that it has gone through the hardships of two generations from design to establishment. During the period, I almost died for various reasons.
From 65438 to 0954, Fermini, a small town in the south of France, ushered in the construction of "Green Fermini New Town". Eugè ne Claudius-Roland, then the mayor, decided to invite le corbusier, a master architect, to do architectural design.

Cobb helped design a series of landmark buildings, including the youth cultural center and the stadium, which were very successful.

So even though Cobb was 73 years old at that time, Ou Ren tried to persuade him to accept the design commission of St Pierre's Church.

From 1960 to 1964, due to differences with the church, the plan was changed four times, and the drawings after the fourth change hardly showed the original plan. However, the bishop at that time had reservations about the budget of Cobb Plan, and once again demanded to reduce the cost.
Cobb had to compromise in the face of the bishop's tough attitude. He narrowed the outline of the church and deleted many original ideas. Just as he confidently asked the bishop to make a final decision, the accident happened. /kloc-on an ordinary day in 0/965, 78-year-old Cobb was swimming in Cape St. Martin. No one expected that this trip would be a farewell. Cobb's departure brought the design of the church to a standstill. His friends and colleagues are very sad. They comforted each other and decided to fulfill Cobb's last wish together.
Cobb's assistants, louis michel and Jose Ubri, are determined to take over the construction of the church. With the help of Ou Ren, they set up an organizing committee to raise money for the church. Not only that, they also restored Cobb's rejected sketches and added some things Cobb insisted on. At the top of the church, two circular lighting tubes were added at that time. After everything was ready, the church began to be built.
But soon, due to financial problems, the church was forced to stop working. 1978 after the resumption of work, the work was stopped again due to financial problems. At this time, the ground and auditorium of the church have been poured, and the shell with difficult construction has not yet been established.
Because the huge sum of money has never been raised, the construction of the church has fallen into a bottleneck. To make matters worse, in 1989, Cobb's old friend Ou Ren also passed away with regret. On his deathbed, he did not forget the mission of building a church, and handed this arduous task to his son Dominic Claudius-Bertie. After that, religion declined and the parish ceased to exist. The unfinished St. Pierre's Church has become a ruin of history. Although it is defined as a cultural relic and has been restored by * * *, it is far from Cobb's original design intention.
Until 2004, with the efforts of the new mayor of Fermini, Dino, after 26 years, the church finally resumed work! After the efforts of countless people, Cobb's drawings were restored, and two years later, the complete St. Pierre's Church was completed and opened. At this time, nearly half a century has passed since Cobb's death. Countless people rushed to fulfill Cobb's last wish and even passed it on to future generations. Building St Pierre's Church is not only a promise, but also a dream of two generations.
St pierre's church with a total height of 33.09 meters was built. Different from ordinary churches, St. Pierre's church is an irregular frustum, and with gray cement, it is full of modernity. From a distance, it is impossible to connect with the solemn church.
But when you walk into it, you will linger on its beauty for a long time.
Time flies, but art lasts forever. The original Party A and designers are long gone, but they have left behind beautiful buildings and inspirational stories. This is not only a tradition, but also a miracle.
It adds a touch of magic to the church and nourishes the pious mind like the sun and the moon. The whole church is shrouded in dark light, solemn and full of agility, mysterious and solemn. Under the appearance of modern architecture, there is a classical aestheticism.
