This church constitutes a clear example of the constructive possibilities which are made available by the use of metallic structures. The roof rests on twelve steel supports, each 12 m high. The roof itself sustains by means of metallic tie members the glass walls that enclose the nave. The roofs of the peripheral smaller naves are themselves also hung from the main roof. The interior decoration is extremely simple, and the main reason for its success is the wise chromatic harmony, involving the systematic use of black, the natural colour of wood, brick red and finally white and gold in the higher parts of the building. The colour arrangement helps to create an effective impression of aerial perspective.
