Religion
Completion
2003
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 wellbalanced 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 welltried 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.
