Nevers. Architecture Pricipe: Claude Parent/Paul Virilio.

Claude Parent & Paul Virilio.

In the 1960s the Architecture Principe group, formed by Claude Parent and Paul Virilio, designed and built the modern ‘bunker’ church for Bernadette of Banlay in Nevers, as an experiment with a new rapport between man and his environment. With a series of texts and hitherto unpublished images this book traces the history and impact of this 20th century masterpiece.
