PROTESTANT CHURCH IN TOKYO - JAPAN

CONCEIVED ALSO IN CONCERT HALL
Japan
Aoyama / Tokyo
Facilities and activities
The architecture for this Protestant Church is centered by a wide nave arranged with six arches and a bell tower that symbolically lay importance on the seven elements : the seven days of creaTon, the seven churches of the Orient…
One can see the impression of a biblical open sky image from which the light amid the Holy Spirit descends upon the worshippers. The souly curved arches speci fically designed for fine acousTcs also remind one of a protecting handpositioned over the crowd. For the use as an authenTc concert hall facility, the temple displays the comfort of lodges discretely posiToned within the arches.
