Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The Imma­nuel Church in a suburb of Colo­gne was rea­li­sed within a limi­ted bud­get after the fusion of two pro­te­stant con­gre­ga­tions who joint their for­ces to crea­te a com­mon church and com­mu­ni­ty buil­ding. It rein­ter­pre­ts the typo­lo­gy of the clas­si­cal basi­li­ca for the need of a con­tem­po­ra­ry, acti­ve and dyna­mic parish. Its com­pact and fle­xi­ble floor plan highlights the role of the com­mu­ni­ty. At the same time the inte­gra­tion of the sur­roun­ding natu­re into the sche­me, as well as the sobrie­ty of form and the straight­for­ward hone­sty of its unclad tim­ber struc­tu­re all con­ver­ge into a joy­ful atmo­sphe­re yet a sacred aura — crea­ting both a social cen­tre and a quiet pla­ce of wor­ship and solemnity.
The 840m² pro­ject con­sists of a church, a small cha­pel and a bell tower, grou­ped around a cir­cle of matu­re trees that forms the impres­si­ve “vesti­bu­le” of the church and a quiet oasis for the public. Ente­ring the church, a low foyer opens out into a high cen­tral nave. A gal­le­ry rising abo­ve the foyer over­looks the nave and offers extra sea­ting. A matt glass screen on its rear brings in day­light and sub­tly fea­tu­res the play of leaf sha­do­ws of the tree outsi­de. The main nave is flan­ked by two late­ral wings hou­sing the sacri­sty, a kit­chen and seve­ral mee­ting rooms for all sorts of acti­vi­ties of the con­gre­ga­tion. The­se can also be joi­ned with the cen­tral nave in various con­fi­gu­ra­tions for festi­ve days and other occasions.
In the apsis behind the altar a screen of 3800 small sla­ts of colou­red tim­ber rea­ches up to the sky­light abo­ve the altar. Its strong chro­ma­tic com­po­si­tion beco­mes gra­dual­ly paler towards the sky, sug­ge­sting an abstract ima­ge of a rising move­ment towards the light — an homa­ge to the Chri­stian ima­gi­na­tion. When the organ — hid­den behind the screen — starts to play, one gets the impres­sion of being in front of a musi­cal wall in a pla­ce that is deci­ded­ly out of the ordi­na­ry, whe­re the sen­sa­tions of spa­ce, sound and colour blend toge­ther, uplif­ting one from eve­ry­day life.
