Brazilian architect and photographer Ricardo Amado shared with us some photographs of this church in Lisbon, designed by José Fernando Gonçalves & João Paulo Providencia and built back in 2005. Take a look at the complete gallery after the break.
Igreja do Convento de São Domingos / José Fernando Gonçalves & João Paulo Providência
spooky interior
are there any sections and exterior photos available?
i really like the atmosphere, very inspired by tadao ando.
looks very similar to Pekka Pitkänen’s Chapel of the Holy Cross finished back in ’67.
can the seating get any more uncomfortable!?
I know it might not seem so, but the seatings are actually very comfortable.
why does seating in a church need to be comfortable anyway..? so one can fall faster asleep during the sermon?
i think this building gives us a good sense of what a modern church might convey in terms of atmosphere. and just the general direction. of meditation rather than preaching.
It reminds me of the chapel from La Tourette by Le Corbusier… but still so far from it.
NICE !!
Great Pics! Such a beautiful light… Congrats!
