Josef Lackner - Austria Council Remembrance Church Lainzer Strasse 138 - Vienna 1965 |
This church, built in the 1960s, is marked by the mood of change and breakup within the church. New architectural concepts seemed to be possible through a new openness and democracy of the church as institution. Josef Lackner developed an interior church space which is rich in contrasts. The church is based on a square plan with heavy external walls which contain a circulation in the first story. A circumferential celestory provides sufficient light for the interior and makes the roof to seem weightless. Later Additions and Changes were made by the architect Sepp Müller. |
