This paper aims to elucidate the process of prototype generation in Le Corbusier's Chapelle de Ronchamp which resembles a sculptural method. In this case, he adapts "la forme acoustique" as a prototype for this site. However, this research investigates the organic transformation of this prototype influenced by the surroundings. Finally, the chapel is a realization of a spatial order as a form-site relationship, however this relationship is already included in Le Corbusier's own notion of 'prototype'. That is to say, the universality of the 'prototype' evolves toward a general composition of the architectural landscape.
