勒-柯布西耶设计的费尔米尼教堂以其引人注目的外形和优美的室内体验而著称，是建筑师多年设计生涯中核心思想和实践的又一次演变。
Known for its striking form and beautiful interior experiences, the Church at Firminy by Le Corbusier was another evolution of the core thoughts and practices of the architect throughout his many years of designing.
这座教堂也具有特殊的意义，因为它是勒-柯布西耶的最后一件重要作品，在他1965年去世时还未完成。在他去世41年后，于2006年完工，使他的精神得以延续。
This church also carries special significance, as it was the last major work of Le Corbusier and was left unfinished upon his death in 1965. It was finished forty-one years after his death in 2006, keeping his essence alive.
矗立在旧工矿城市Firminy，Firminy教堂是勒-柯布西耶设计的一组社区建筑之一，其中有奥林匹克体育场、青年俱乐部和文化中心、标准住宅群，最后是Unite-d’Habitation。
Standing in the old mining and industrial city of Firminy, the Church of Firminy was one of a set of community buildings designed by Le Corbusier, among these are an Olympic stadium, youth club and cultural center, standard housing complex, and finally Unite-d’Habitation.
建筑师认识到这个城市的小众性，他希望拥抱和赞美生产该地区大部分商品的矿工和钢铁工人，这也解释了他使用混凝土的原因。他希望这种材料也能让他控制体量和空间，在他的整体目标中，赋予光以真正的意义。
Recognizing the small congregation of the city, the architect wanted to embrace and celebrate the miners and steel workers that produced most of the goods of the area, which explains his use of concrete. He hoped that this material would also give him control over the volume and spaces in his overall goal of giving light a true meaning.
正如建筑师所预料的那样，他将之前项目中的许多核心建筑理念融合到了他的新设计中，同时也留下了受宗教启发的空间。
As can be expected by the architect, he fused many of his core architectural ideas from previous projects into his newer design, while also leaving room to be inspired by religion.
他希望创造一个环境，在适度的规模上建立一个精神充实的场所。关于这一点，勒-柯布西耶表示，这个空间必须 “广阔，使人的心可以感到轻松，高大，使祈祷者可以在其中呼吸”。
He wanted to create a setting that established a place for spiritual enrichment on a modest scale. About this, Le Corbusier stated that the space must be “vast so that the heart may feel at ease, and high so that prayers may breathe in it.”
自然光通过灯箱和一系列有组织的开口涌入，这些开口是对猎户座的直接引用。灯箱的设计方式，会在特定的宗教节日，如耶稣受难日和复活节周日，为神龛带来光明。
Natural light floods in through light boxes and through a series of organized openings that are a direct reference to the constellation Orion. The light boxes are designed in a way that will bring light to the alter on specific religious holidays, like Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
柯布西耶运用几何学的灵性来创造整体造型，向上凸起的方形基座向圆圈描绘了从尘世到精神领域的蜕变和过渡，而宇宙学的基础则在星座窗和屋顶朝向太阳的角度中显现出来。
Corbusier uses the spirituality of geometry to create the overall form; a square base that projects upwards to a circle depicts the metamorphosis and transition from earthly to spiritual realm, and the cosmological basis is revealed in the constellation windows and angle of the roof towards the sun.
该建筑于2006年由法国建筑师Jose Oubrerie完成，他曾师从柯布西耶多年。
The building was completed in 2006 by French architect Jose Oubrerie, who studied under Corbusier for many years.
