Le Couvent De La Tourette, a monastery constructed by Le Corbusier, is more than just a structure.

It is an emotional journey through this spiritual environment produced merely by employing space and
architectural forms to convey serenity and calmness. This Dominican order priory is located on a hillside
near Lyon, France, and is open to the public. The design of one of the last buildings created by the 66 years
old Architect Le Corbusier began in May 1953 and ended in 1960.

The fact that Le Corbusier was not a believer posed no barrier for him rather, it was a challenge to
comprehend a new way of life grounded in religion. Le Corbusier employs the form follows function
approach, as the structure's function is to house wisdom, spirituality, and serenity. According to my
interpretation of this structure and Le Corbusier's concepts, the structure is raised up on stilts, columns, and
pillars, just like a human body is freed from the ground by the use of legs, the floor plans open up just like
a human body torso broadens from the waist to the chest, the free roof with terrace to act as solar gains
show the human head and its concept of absorbing wisdom.

Le Corbusier designed a structure in a pure and simple manner, precisely adhering to the
proportions of Le Modulor, a measurement system he devised according to the human body. These have
the proportions of Le Modulor and are 1'83 m or 2'26 m wide, depending on the user, 5'92 m long, and 2'26
m tall. Le Corbusier had thought about the ideal architectural proportions. He defined a system founded on
the golden section whose basic unit is the human figure.

Because of the naked area where natural light flows through all the time and is meticulously
controlled, light and color become essential values in the project. Light is used extremely precisely, usually
in an indirect manner, to create a warm, colorful environment. They provide a unique ambience with lots
of colors. The skylights on the roofs provide lovely zenithal illumination that cascades down onto the
slanting red wall of the sacristy, relieving the solemnity of the great altar. A dynamic space full of strength
is created by the combination of pristine patterns and primary colors under cosmic illumination.

Furthermore, using Le Modulor, light, and color in my design in architectural interior can
contribute many key elements. The Le Modulor stems from Le Corbusier's fascination with
creating harmony among spaces and the human body. It represents an attempt to offer
mathematical order to architecture on a human scale. It is established for architectural proportions
based on the golden ratio and human body proportions. Light and color can make a room appear
larger or more intimate, warm or cool, thrilling or soothing. It all boils down to how color and light
are used in interior design. As we employ light and shade to create an environment that is both
cozy and striking. Assume we want to spotlight a piece of art on a wall, we'll need a downlight
that illuminates the artwork but also a darkened region surrounding it. This focuses our sights to
the artwork. Hence, the major feature of interior design is the utilization of appropriate lighting
and color. It may improve and elevate every aspect of a room, including the furniture, flooring,
and fixtures to the finishes and textures. Often used to emphasize specific parts of a design or to
elicit a desired mood or feeling in the observer. It is applied selectively to achieve harmony,
balance, and consistency.
