What Would Jesus Build?
Some Chinese Christians have faith that Jesus might give his blessing to this accordion harkening church designed by Architect GMP. Serving as China’s largest Christian church, with repeating vertical lines reaching to the heavens, the architects have created an open and bright space that reflects their client’s openness and belief in their state of enlightenment. The interior does a decent job of reflecting the less-is-more lessons Jesus preached to his followers and is in sharp contrast to the opulent and ornate gothic cathedrals commonly seen in Catholic churches. I still look forward to a church design that truly reflects what Jesus taught and incorporates a hillside setting that celebrates nature’s beauty and grounds us all to this beautiful Earth, while rising our spirits to the heavens. Back to the drawing board I guess…

Wrong guess my friend. That church has already been designed and build in Finland. Maybe you could show it too.

Beautiful church! Loved the lighting and the minimalistic style over it. The greatest church I’ve seen except the old grand ones.
I am sure you will also love the St. Bonifatius church by C18 architects

makes me want to pray! i am not a big church goer but this is a beautiful environment!
looks more like a prison with all those vertical bars on it…..
it does not look nice, in my opinion a church should not look so “technically”, it should look more “handmade” and be decorated with e.g. paintings.
