RICHARD MEIER IN ROME: Building a Church in the City of Churches [excerpt]
excerpt from: RICHARD MEIER IN ROME Building a Church in the City of Churches a film by Michael Blackwood (2004, 58 minutes, color) Website: http://www.michaelblackwoodproductions.com Building a church in Rome is a challenge, but Richard Meier #39;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.
