Built between 1953 and 1960 at Éveux near Lyon, the Convent de la Tourette is the last major great work built in France by the architect Le Corbusier. A statement of the architect’s maturity, its forcefulness, richness and complexity are such that in 1986, French architects chose it as the second most important contemporary architectural work in the country after the Centre Pompidou designed by Piano and Rogers in Paris.
In 2002, preliminary studies for the general restoration and refurbishment of the Convent were carried out  in order to restore the buildings to a homogeneous and coherent appearance enhanced with contemporary building codes.
