Abstract


This complex has been built near the old church, the schools, cemetery and the parish house, opposite the townhall and adjacent to the town's shopping centre. It consists of: the main church, a smaller every-day chapel, a baptistery chapel, the community hall, a youth hall and a kindergarten. The three consacrated areas have an octogonal floor plan with skylight focusing on the altars and the baptismal font. There is also a continuous span window, high along the walls of the main nave for visually floating the roof. The materials used are all traditional: timber and brick, but highlighting the focus points with stone and metal. The arcades, landscaping the pond and a plaza, provide the compound with the required monumental feeling and dignified importance.
