Le Havre St Joseph's Church

September 27, 2018 by Alain Le Kim

This place is a nightmare for photographers. As soon as you walk in this unique church, you are stunned by the amazing architecture. Auguste Perret has mastered an incredible building, that looks from the outside like an industrial chimney. Inside is a completely different feeling. Although very big, it has a kind of intimate atmosphere. But it is extremely difficult to convey in a photograph. Whatever the angle, whatever the lens used, I have not been able to get one single satisfying image. I chose this one because it is confusing. But it does not convey the elaborate sturdiness of the concrete construction. If you look at the building carefully, you discover how Perret cleverly designed the church. In fact, it is quite simple, but still a daring structure.
