Anyone who'd commission a building like this gets all the ridicule he deserves.
Los Angeles also is very earthquake prone. But here's what would happen to such a building in LA.
It's a "signature piece" all right.

New Church for L'Aquila - Good Grief
Fr. Blake mentions that Fr. Z has a blog post re: a proposed new church for L'Aquila, an earthquake hit city. Fr. Blake doesn't like this building as a church, but thinks[!?] it is architecturally interesting. I think the architect is trying to "Epater le Bourgeois" myself. [Yes, I know there is supposed to be an accent over the first "E" in epater, so sue me.] Fr. Blake thinks it would be the architect's "signature piece."

Yep, I think you have the true picture of what it would look like in the end. It looks like a big blob.
ReplyDeleteActually looks like something you might find on a restroom floor at any rest stop on any freeway in the US after a 3 day weekend
ReplyDeleteAnd I suppose the inside would look like a men's urinal, when you think of it.
ReplyDeleteMy 9 year old just looked and said, "That's supposed to be a church?"
ReplyDeleteLOL!, love the tagginh
ReplyDeleteNo problem with the French - Capital letters don't take accents at the beginning of a line !
ReplyDeleteWe'd be very glad if you would let your readers know about an Irish catholic blog:

Happy Eastertide!
