Abstract

MESSAGE TO THE FUTURE HOLY CHURCH OF POPE JOHN PAUL II, PÁTY, HUNGARY | Architect: Robert GUTOWSKI From the 1980s onwards Páty has steadily grown a satellite town to Budapest, mixed in terms of architectural character and identity. To build a new church is not a question of placing bricks upon brick, somehow held together by a concrete substructure, more is required to reflect a growing community. Therefore the choice of adopting an elliptical plan form references the strong tradition for geometry in religious architecture to create a communual space that supports not only the Eucharistic rite, also a new congregation. Finally the use of brickwork combined with smooth rendered interiors defines the balance between public and spiritual spaces, the old village structure and the new inhabitants of a growing town.
