Reviews

'Ultimately, Sert and his client produced an architectural work that Birksted describes as ineloquent, a word he uses to convey muteness, blankness, emptiness, devoid of the symbols and pomp that one typically associates with religious architecture. This is as the nuns wished their convent to be-simple, spare, ordinary, ascetic-in order to prepare oneself for the divine.' Journal of Architectural Education
