CORB IN FIRMINY

SIR: As a non architect but an ARCHITECTURAL JUNKIE,, I have just read with
enthusiasm the article by Michael Webb on the Corb church at Firminy (A
R March)..... we made a 'pilgrimage' there last week & were bowled over
..... reading the professional viewpoint now adds to our enthusiasm & joy at
having seen yet another masterpiece. Altho' it does not have the
spiritual impact of Ronchamp, being on a 'Corb site' brings his work
together for the 'untrained'. Villa Savoie & its excellent restoration
plus a viewing at Pessac near Bordeaux on the same trip have been an
incredibly enriching experience
Yours etc
