这是由纽约公司urban architecture office设计的新泽西州教堂，位于新泽西州的恩格尔伍德。该项目象征了人与自然之间的关系，建筑师负责人是carloenzo。该项目将成为礼拜的宁静空间，通过玻璃幕墙和景观区域的运用，不断与周边的自然环境相联系。该教堂为当代风格的外观，与典型的礼拜空间设计有所区别，大量使用了混凝土和玻璃作为主要材料，形成雕刻感的几何体块。黑色的木板表皮被运用到建筑的曲面，从而突出建筑的正立面。在人性尺度方面，钟成为了最高形式的制高点；它可通过一道分岔桥到达。在下面的空间，祷告室因为使用了反射透明玻璃而营造了独特的效果；被结构支撑的玻璃围合空间隐喻着被耶稣基督的十字架支撑的人性弱点。同时，玻璃幕墙有助反射来自楼层的阳光。

located in englewood, new jersey, this church completed by new york-based firm urban office architecture symbolizes the relationship between man and nature. led by architect carloenzo, the scheme serves as peaceful space of worship, by constantly connecting with its natural surroundings through the use of glass surfaces and the landscape areas throughout.

the church instills a contemporary expression – unlike typical designs of spaces of worship – highlighted by the heavy use of concrete and glass which are the main materials utilized to sculpt the geometric structure. a dark timber paneling wraps the only curving form of the building, which protrudes from the front façade. altogether, the building conveys an orbiting presence and a cyclical movement that has been created to ‘bring the experience of a higher being as a subjective decision yet an inevitable one.’

at human scale, the bell tired rises as the tallest form; accessed through a bifurcated bridge through to a discrete and concealed opening. in the space below, the place of prayer is distinctive due to its use of reflection and transparency; a glass envelope as the metaphor of human frailty supported by the structural strength of the cross of christ. the large floating structure supports the glass, while inviting morning light reflected from the floor. above, ‘the chapel of the sky’ gives a heavenly dimension of thought and its connection with the horizon.

‘symbolically the church expresses the idea that in his infinite desire man turns his gaze to the creator as the bond of relentless freedom.’ explains carloenzo, principal designer of urban office architecture. ‘as the stars would move one’s perception of the firmament about, the eyes of the worshiper is presented the divine image of christ to move the viewer’s gaze up, as a symbol of a life in the presence of a quotidian verticality.’
