Le Livre de Ronchamp (The Book of Ronchamp), published by Le Corbusier in 1961 as part of the Les Cahiers Forces Vives series, is an artistic and architectural monograph documenting his iconic 1955 pilgrimage chapel, Notre-Dame du Haut.

It combines photos, sketches, and personal text to showcase the building's design process, sculptural form, and the play of light.

The book acts as a visual and textual guide to the chapel’s creation, exploring its unique shell-shaped roof, thick masonry walls, and colored glass openings.Visual

It includes numerous photographs, drawings, and diagrams authored by Le Corbusier, detailing the site’s landscape and the construction phases.
