A New Church for a Growing Comunity

The town grows –
the religious basic unit of the site from the 8th century has become too small.
Religious exchange – keeping together – belonging together –
the ways and vistas inside the church are well planned to make sense.
They offer a clear orientation, put old and new into a well-balanced relation.
Building on – giving space to the new; in the 21st century.
The open space at God’s acre has everything to become a lively square in the open air.
The structure of the façade, connecting old and new; points to the future –
but one is also reminded of the past.
The well-tried is newly fixed.
The materials are used massively to last.
The core:
a shrine of wood and glass immerses the room into blue light.
The community crystallizes and embraces the core.
A new church for a growing community.
