Building a church in Rome is a challenge, but Richard Meier's Jubilee
Church meets this challenge comfortably. Thus Meier joins Bernini,
Borromini, and the other architects of the great churches of Rome with
a white modernist design, his first ecclesiastical building. Richard
Meier gives a tour of his church which resembles soaring white sails.
Three curved walls separate three distinct spaces: the main sanctuary,
the weekday chapel and the baptistry, each with its own entrance. As a
contrast he shows us his favorite churches in Rome by his famous
colleagues from earlier times. |
