The Monastry of Sainte Marie de La Tourette Lyon, France
The buildings contain a hundred sleeping rooms for teachers and students, study halls, a hall for work and one for recreation, a library and a refectory.
Next comes the church where the monks carry on alone (on occasion in the presence of several of the faithful).
Finally, the circulation connects all the parts in particular those which appear in a new form (the achievement of the traditional cloister form is rendered impossible here by the slope of terrain).
