Project descrip­tion

No archi­tec­tur­al task has under­gone such rad­i­cal changes through­out the past centu¬ries as church archi­tec­ture. Builders of for­mer peri­ods have had tra­di­tion, the sig­nif­i­cance of their her­itage as their start­ing point, and they fol­lowed his­toric styles. Con­tem­po­rary archi­tec­ture ambi­tions sim­plic­i­ty, ratio­nal and clear inte­ri­ors and forms. The Luther­an church in Pest­szentlőrinc, which is being built now, is not a lux­u­ri­ous one: it does not attract at¬tention with its unique forms, or unin­ter­est­ing super­flu­ous dec­o­ra­tions, but rather with the sim­ple archi­tec­tur­al for­ma­tion of the litur­gi­cal func­tions. The venue where peo­ple can get to know their own depths, their real nature, get in touch with God and their human fel­lows, and with the help of arts expe­ri­ence har­mo­ny with the world sur­round­ing them. Its exte­ri­or and clear mass for­ma­tion, the homoge­nous facade show that it is down to earth, and yet ambi¬tions to reach for the skies. It shows the pres¬ence of pow­ers with­in that have the capac­i­ty to car­ry away every­one. Once, when we all of a sud­den can feel both the ener­gy of prayer in the every­day life of our earth­ly exis­tence and the tran­scen­den­tal expe­ri­ence of community.
