This building was suggested to me by Richard Leplastrier, during a group discussion (02/03/11) on the notional ideas surrounding our fifth year project. Richard described the building as being the "church of the crucifix", the solemn nature of the spatial experience speaks to the deeper sorrow and pain that was outworked on the cross. The notion of the architecture is seemingly a reminder of what took place on the cross. This piece of architecture, has a brilliantly conceived 'service' space, but also looks at 'pulling' community functions into the church building, such that they 'church' becomes more than just a church, but the framework upon which the community grows and functions.
