Project descrip­tion

Evi­dent­ly Lutheran

The new Luther­an church of Pilisc­sa­ba, locat­ed in an acces­si­ble place for the res­i­dents of the set­tle­ment, adver­tis­es the mis­sion state­ment of the Luther­an Church on the cor­ner of Széchenyi Street and Szent Lás­zló Street: “Evi­dent­ly Luther­an.” From a litur­gi­cal per­spec­tive, it is a uni­fied, cen­tral space, with point-like light sources arranged in star shapes on the ceil­ing, sym­bol­i­cal­ly rep­re­sent­ing the vault of the entire cre­at­ed world (heav­en). How­ev­er, the planned new church is not just a sacred build­ing but also a com­mu­ni­ty facil­i­ty pro­vid­ing space for reli­gious edu­ca­tion, church con­fer­ences, small con­fer­ences, and cul­tur­al events relat­ed to reli­gious life. Exter­nal­ly, it appears as a vis­i­ble brick-clad, clean, raw cube with min­i­mal archi­tec­tur­al ele­ments that do not com­pete with the sur­round­ing wood­ed devel­op­ment, yet in its cap­ti­vat­ing sim­plic­i­ty, it cre­ates its own aura. The large glass sur­faces on the gable walls of the roof, with fine­ly artic­u­lat­ed wood­en lamel­la struc­tures, human­ize nature in such a way that they com­plete­ly open up to it.
