| The Spirituality of Geometry
Le Corbusier designed the church of Saint-Pierre in Firminy, France as his third major religious building.
Le Corbusier envisioned a place for spiritual enrichment on a modest scale. Le Corbusier uses the spirituality of geometry to create the overall form; a square base rises into a circular summit, symbolizing the passage from the earthly to the spiritual.
Left unfinished at his death in 1965, it was completed forty-one years later, in 2006, by the French architect José Oubrerie.

| Autumnal Dinner
Last November, Bryant Estate’s friends gathered around a long table, bathed in candlelight and framed by abundant florals. Conversation flowed as generously as the wine at this elegant dinner hosted by Bettina Bryant.
| Halo
The “Halo” installation is an interesting study of evolving scenography for a private event held in a former power plant.
This circular light surface highlights key elements of the event, drawing attention to them while abstracting the expansive emptiness of the surrounding space.

“I want to honour the vineyard, the wine and the talent behind the wine, and inspire people to be present, to connect with nature, light, music, or maybe even silence,” says Bettina Bryant, owner of Bryant Estate.
Thank you Bettina for your trust and your vision that guides this collaboration.

The Many Lives of the Nakagin Capsule Tower
July 10, 2025 – July 12, 2026
The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY
The MoMA presents a focused exhibition dedicated to the 50-year lifespan of the Nakagin Capsule Tower, a project by Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa and a radical symbol of Japan’s Metabolism movement.
Marketed as micro-dwellings for commuting businessmen, the building was composed of two interconnected concrete-and-steel towers that hosted 140 single-occupancy “capsules,” each fully equipped with prefabricated fixtures and a Sony color TV.
