Capilla San Benedicto en Kolbermoor. Alemania

Abstract

[EN] The chapel stands in an esplanade in the middle of the Old Mill Park in Kolbermoor. The visitor penetrates through a spacious front yard to the entrance with a bell and gradually into the sacred interior. The classic image of a church is reinterpreted with a new and contemporary language.The materials used for this construction are concrete and wood. The rain water fl ows through the open wood gutters representing the conjunction with the continuous time-passing- symbol of the race of life.
