Nicholas Fox Weber, Le Corbusier: A Protestant in Catholic Dress with a Hindu Soul (Saint Marie-Eugenie Milleret Lecture)

Apr. 09, 2019
8:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Kennedy 112

The Ecumenical Institute and the Department of Art, Music, and Theatre at Assumption present the 2019 St. Marie Eugenie Milleret Lecture featuring Nicholas Fox Weber. As the Executive Director of the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation, Weber is a cultural historian and acclaimed author of 14 books. Weber’s lecture will address the issue of Le Corbusier’s very particular and personal attitude toward religion. Weber draws from, among others, on personal encounters with famous Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi who worked closely with Le Corbusier and provided Weber rare insights into Le Corbusier’s spirituality, which were at odds with the architect’s views on the organized Christian churches and their hierarchies.

This event is free and open to the public.
