That looks very futuristic. I googled the church but I only found a basilika which looks more "traditional". Is this a concept design or a real building?

Wow, that's really cool! It looks like a mix of a Colani design, tear drop and Paramecium. Thanks for the link. thumbsup

I like the ground plan of the building, which is in the shape of tear...

I add figures to make the idea of the size of the building, I added a few things there else - bench, stroller, skateboard

There's a church made in the same vain of that one in Bethell Connecticut. A lot of people thought it looked too modern for a church, as if God was in the church, and not the people.

as if God was in the church

Well, in a way every church is God's house, albeit he prfers to give advice from the home office most of the time.

I did write that wrong. I meant, "as if God's intention and love for us be lessened by a church design", something along those lines. I am Catholic, so if the Eucharist is in the Ark, then the body and blood of Christ is there, meaning God's presence is there, Holy Spirit willing.
