Extraordinary Modernism in The Reconstruction of The City Center of Le Havre on The Example of The Church of St. Joseph According to The Design of Auguste Perret

Auguste Perret's Church of St. Joseph stands as a forgotten yet extraordinary example of modernist sacred architecture, showcasing the innovative use of raw materials like concrete and reinforced concrete during Le Havre's post-war reconstruction. This study highlights its enduring spatial, aesthetic, and functional values, demonstrating how Perret's design not only mastered technological challenges but also redefined artistic expression in urban reconstruction. The church, alongside the town hall and cathedral, forms a pivotal element of the city's historical urban composition, offering a coherent vision of modernist thought that remains relevant today.
