Description
Summary:In the years following the Second World Ward, Edouard Trouin and the architect Le Corbusier put enormous effort into a design for a city and underground basilica focussing on the grotto of Mary Magdalene in St Baume in the south of France.

What follows is an exploration of their influence on the development of this ambitious scheme.
