The Church at Firminy and The Miller House are two architectural masterpieces realised by the architect Jose Oubrerie, who was an assistant to the great master Le Corbusier. The church is one of the last projects of Le Corbusier, which was left unfinished for 40 years; having worked on this church from its inception, Oubrerie finally completed and adapted it to current needs and standards while respecting the integrity of the original design. The Miller House, Oubrerie's own late masterpiece from the 1990s is a landmark in Lexington, where the architect devoted his mature years to academic leadership at the University of Kentucky. This is a thorough documentation of the two buildings with an extensive collection of previously unpublished drawings, documents and photographs. This is a precise and vivid testimony of Oubrerie's unique architectural career, with Le Corbusier's formidable legacy as a formative and creative influence.
