Our Lady of the Pentecost Church

Abstract

In La Défense, where millions of square metres of office space have been pressed into a variety of forms since the fifties, the church is the smallest building. It stands at the edge of the gigantic esplanade of the Grande Arche and is enclosed on three sides by the arching form of the Centre National des Industries et Techniques (CNIT) to the northwest, a wing of an office building to the southwest and the entrance and exit of a road tunnel to the northeast.
