w.o.w.!
the light inside must be beautiful.
i wonder about the materials from the inside – warmish caly or cool white?
why isn’t it possible to strech the rules for building here in germany?
Sorry Justin, perhaps we are not so high brow and maybe we don’t understand architecure at your level…Perhaps if someone designed a building in the shape of a terd and built it with revolutionary materials and then put windows here and there you would be amazed… I don’t see this design as being appropriate for a church theme..why not a metal shop? If the the architects intent was to lure people into church with their curiosity for the structure, then my hat is off to the architects.. otherwise turn that place into a factory and give the church its money back
It’s an exceptional piece of sculpture but how does it work on the inside and where is it? (in the event a pilgrimage is in the cards) Madrid is a big city.
Is in Rivas, a town near Madrid. You must see how the light gets into the church, it’s amazing. Mattai: the inside is cool white, and it’s sooooooo beautiful.
I think it’s bold and fascinating when people do something different; I respect it. This is a beautiful building, especially for a church which are a dime a dozen with their traditional designs. Bravo!

How do you get in?

Looks like the sand crawler from Star Wars.

I don’t need to get in, I’d just worship it from outside.

I appreaciate the attempt at something new but the design leaves me wondering whether its a satanic church or a metal shop
DAN on 20 Apr 2008 at 12:43 am #
I would be scared to go in

Wow, some of these comments are so ridiculous: “how do you get in” – are you kidding me… Beautiful, Beautiful building – incredibly appropriate.

Looks like Jawas live there!
Very cool, wonder what its like on the inside.
Elnaz on 05 Oct 2008 at 12:20 pm #
Amazing! I like its design
but I agree to James. It could have so much more impression if it was a museum….

First you cant call preatty or ugly if you dont know how it works
