The main objective is to analyse Louis I. Kahn's reaction on visiting Ronchamp in 1959, studying his sketch of the interior and comparing it with others by the architect and a similar sketch by Le Corbusier. The system to support the roof is explained through photographs and plans selected from the 514 relating to this project. The evident conclusion is that Le Corbusier adopted a structural system of a certain complexity to achieve an internal light in keeping with the religious nature of the building, something that, as can be seen from his sketch, did not pass unnoticed by Kahn.
