Descri­zio­ne del progetto

Sto­ne Cha­pel with Woo­den Core
Mee­ting Pla­ce I Con­ver­sion and Moder­ni­sa­tion Hou­se Johannisthal
with new cha­pel St. John the Baptist,
Win­di­sche­schen­bach, Upper Pala­ti­na­te, Germany

Hiking the natu­re reser­ve, the typi­cal land­sca­pe of the region – Woods, gra­ni­te rock, water, open coun­try­si­de, the bound­les­sness of hea­ven and the reduc­tion of the essen­tial. A way­si­de cha­pel emer­ges. „Making encoun­ters pos­si­ble“ is the gui­ding prin­ci­ple of Hou­se Johan­ni­sthal, a very vivid pla­ce of faith. Encoun­ters with god, natu­re, peo­ple and with your­self. This edu­ca­tion cen­ter of the dio­ce­se is loca­ted on a very spe­cial, quiet und unspoi­led pla­ce of natu­re – you feel like ente­ring an other world. Not fast, not hec­tic, not digi­tal. A real pla­ce of rege­ne­ra­tion, refu­ge and relaxation.
The fir­st con­struc­tu­ral tra­ces of the for­mer glas­sworks date from 1848, hun­dred years later peo­ple fir­st came to this pla­ce for con­tem­pla­tion. Our major chal­len­ge and chan­ce at the same time was to crea­te a iden­ti­fia­ble futu­re for this pla­ce out of past and pre­sent. The aim was to form a sym­bio­sis of land­sca­pe, archi­tec­tu­re and peo­ple again.
A lit­tle vil­la­ge came into beeing in Johan­ni­sthal. The old­new hou­ses are mona­sti­cal, pre­ci­se and sim­ple. Sub­stan­cial. Around the vil­la­ge squa­re a hou­se for com­mon meals, two hou­ses for rest, a hou­se for inter­lo­cu­tion and a hou­se for prayer. The new cha­pel is the heart of Johan­ni­sthal, built of gra­ni­te with a smooth woo­den core. Remi­ni­scen­cent of a sim­ple, tra­di­tio­nal sha­ped hou­se. Outsi­de and insi­de. Gra­ni­te – spru­ce and fir wood – a sur­pri­sing break. It feels like being in the woods. Sun­rays. Sha­dow. Water reflec­ts on the glass win­dow – a stair­way to hea­ven. The built-in pipe organ lets the who­le spa­ce sound as one instru­ment. The ancient litur­gi­cal offe­rings were brought back in a new arti­sti­cal dress out of wea­the­red steel. The used mate­rials are the tra­di­tio­nal pro­duc­ts of the Upper Palan­ti­na­te. Gra­ni­te from Flos­sen­bürg, glas and wood from coni­fe­rous trees.
