The architect's thoughts on the building's conception: Every effort to achieve an ordering, meaningful spatial concept in church architecture will only lead to the right results if it strives for the unity of liturgy and space. The liturgy is thus the defining element of the space; the essential impulses emanate from it: clear speech, measured movement, rigorous design of the space, the furnishings, the colours and sounds—everything, thought, word, form, and image, is shaped from the simple elements of the soul's life: rich, multifaceted, and yet transparent.
