Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The Domi­ni­kuszen­trum, with its distinct and power­ful lan­gua­ge of forms, con­sti­tu­tes a cul­tu­ral and spi­ri­tual cen­tre in the new­ly deve­lo­ped district near Mun­che­ner Nordheide.
It is a fit­ting coun­ter­part to the urban squa­re, which is within eye­shot, in the nor­thern part of the district.
Situa­ted in an archi­tec­to­nic sculp­tu­re cut out of brick, the cha­pel and the social and cul­tu­ral ame­ni­ties are grou­ped around a cen­tral con­tem­pla­ti­ve courtyard.
Various pas­sa­geways invi­te peo­ple to enter or to walk down them. The main pas­sa­geway facing the squa­re also forms the sheath enclo­sing the exten­ded chapel.
The cha­pel is the spi­ri­tual cen­tre of the complex.
The pro­por­tions of the cha­pel are deri­ved from the gol­den sec­tion, both in ground plan and ele­va­tion. The room appears rec­tan­gu­lar only at fir­st sight, for the two outsi­de walls have been tur­ned slightly on their axis; the dyna­mics of the spa­ce crea­ted point to Mary, to the pla­ce of pri­va­te prayer.
A lar­ge cle­re­sto­ry win­dow allo­ws day­light to pene­tra­te writ­ten excerp­ts from the creed, per­mea­ting the room with meaning.
The under­coat for the light is blue. It crea­tes the inte­rior archi­tec­tu­ral sheath of the cha­pel, fil­ling the room with spi­ri­tual con­tent and aug­men­ting the uni­que atmo­sphe­re crea­ted by the light.
The blue room is the sym­bol of the hea­ven­ly and the divi­ne. It is also the colour of Mary. Based on the con­cep­tual desi­gn of meck archi­tek­ten the room’s brick shea­thing has been colou­red blue in keeping.
The litur­gi­cal con­cept envi­sa­ges the altar and the ambo being pla­ced oppo­si­te one ano­ther. The cen­tre of the room, reser­ved for the ‘divi­ne’, remains emp­ty. This con­cept very power­ful­ly expres­ses the ‘com­mu­nio idea’. By stres­sing the cen­tre, it empha­si­ses the idea of the communal.
The five lar­ge bro­n­­ze-clad gates can be ope­ned to extend the cha­pel out­ward­ly: the envi­sa­ged arran­ge­ment of the ambo and the pews turns the cha­pel into a pre­sby­te­ry and the cove­red exte­rior area into a nave.
