Roman Catholic Church in Radebeul
The brief required a church that would radiate a sense of spaciousness and light. In response to this, the architects took the idea of a service in the open air as a starting point for their design. The quality of the site – a park-like garden surrounded by high stone walls – was to be reflected in the interior. The triangular church space is enclosed within a facade that possesses various degrees of transparency. There are no full-height walls internally. The only vertical elements are the reredos and a curved wall beneath the gallery (both in exposed concrete), which lend the space a sense of direction and articulation.
