Amazing! I like its design
but I agree to James. It could have so much more impression if it was a museum….

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!

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.

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.

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
