Descrizione del progetto
Task
The new building for pastoral care in the diocese of Linz, to be located on the site of the steel company voestalpine, is designed to create good framework conditions for liturgical and secular events for both active and retired personnel.
The plot of land lies between borders formed by a number of main roads and the large industrial estate. This creates an island consisting of a four-metre thick deposit of slag stone with the characteristic features of a “no-man’s‑land” which is in need of a new strong character.
Concept
The study of duality between man and work within the steel company led to the concept of a complementary addition to the area through a new “built landscape“. Conventional church buildings, e.g. a basilica or tower, would not be able to achieve their independent meaning in this area as the voestalpine’s site is mainly dominated by relatively high buildings (cylinder, spheres, cone, tower, etc.) with incomparably large dimensions.
Small existing woodlands represent a “bastion of nature“ and serve as a conceptional starting point for the introduction of an “oasis for the people”, a built landscape which is integrated into the hillside. The building is subsequently developed by cutting into and hollowing out the hillside.
