AB - In French architecture in the second half of the 20th century,
the demand for urban planning, critical of the foundations of the Charter
of Athens, was linked to the Gestalt psychology’s exploration of space. The inheritance of teachers such as A. Perret and Le Corbusier regarding the use of concrete as a fetish material of modernity was added to by proposals by architects like Claude Parent who sought the revaluation of his expressive properties, both visually and to the touch, and the sensory implications when referring to the imbalance of living. This article will analyze L’Église de Sainte Bernadette du Banlay in Nevers (1963-1966), built by Claude Parent under the “The Fonction Oblique” criteria of the Architecture Principe group, while abiding by the characteristics of the architecture of the bunkers of
the Atlantic Wall investigated by one of members of this group - the urban planner philosopher, Paul Virilio. Parameters concerned with emplacement, circulation, function, space and the integral construction with concrete will allow for the revelation of whether the doctrine of “oblique architecture” bound it to fulfilling a religious function or if the alloy in the assimilated materiality of the bunkers was his answer to a coherent conception and spatial construction.
