- Description:
- Design a church with attached classrooms and related kitchen and restroom facilities for a newly formed Lutheran Church Association of Cortland. It was a low budget project to be constructed of low cost materials.
The design focused on the sanctuary with its ceremonial elements--cross, altar, font and communion kneeling structure--set on a stage. The design concept rested on a ‘minimalist’ use of form, materials and furnishings, with an emphasis on natural light. Exposed polished concrete floors throughout and concrete masonry units were used for all exterior and interior walls. - Format:
