Jubilee

2003 Jubilee Church
Rome Italy
Renzo Piano

Three large precast concrete curved walls define the church in much the same way the Sydney opera house is constructed. The concrete is a special mix to maintain the pearly white surface and because of this its appearance changes through out the day and seasons. This is a modern version of a church but still tries to capture light in an inspiring way just as its predecessors did. Richard Meier states that the design was also drive by reducing the heat gains of the structure.
