Le Carmel de la Paix, set on a hillside near Cluny is a convent designed by Jose Luis Sert, which is virtually unknown and little visited. This book sets out the reasons for its neglect and in doing so, not only offers valuable and important new insights into Sert's architecture, but also provides insights into the modernist movement and ecclesiastical architecture, the Carmelite life and its particular liturgical requirements and, reflecting on the nuns' active involvement in the design and construction process, it also explores wider issues of women in architecture.
