Our Lady Church

Summary

The de facto objective of the design competition for the extension of the Roman Catholic church in Nagykovácsi is to allow up to 400 people to attend the holy mass. The combined presence of such a large community and their concentrated attention makes getting exposed to these events a powerful sensation. This experience is the aim of this project. It is clear that the current design of the church is not suitable to accommodate such a crowd. There are therefore two basic ways to achieve this: either the designer reconstructs the building, intervening in its structural-spatial organisation, or finds an alternative solution that does not directly affect the building.
