架构师提供的文本描述。金波新城的建筑，这里的一切看起来都是新的、干净的、新鲜的，就像在奶瓶里捕捉到的鱼一样。结构良好的道路和地区看起来就像一个从未被使用过的棋盘。通过当地社区，这个地方的普通生活和情感刚刚开始安定下来，并将试图与不同的城市文化，并建立自己的身份。

Text description provided by the architects. Buildings of the Gimpo new town, where everything looks as new, clean and as fresh as fishes caught in a milk bottle. Well-structured roads and districts look like a checkerboard that has never been used. Through local communities, this place is where ordinary lives and sentiments have just started to settle down and will attempt to engage with different urban cultures and establish its own identity.

最近的教堂坐落在金浦市恩阳洞的一个角落里。像角、边和顶点这样的词意味着多条线或多面的存在。教堂有一个立面，在场地的顶点被两个互相冲突的门面隔开。一个是坚实而零碎的混凝土，是考虑到与公寓居民的关系而提出的；另一个是透明的玻璃，可以看到广阔的公园和教堂的礼拜仪式。教堂的结构类似于看台，其设计目的是增加建筑在紧凑型场地上的空间容量。小房间位于看台倾斜表面的后面，在看台的顶部，这样教堂就能充分利用它的空间。尤其是将地面和屋顶连接起来的外楼梯作为界定教堂外部的一个重要因素，其使用者的生动运动使教堂的建筑陈述更加动态。屋顶空间可以举办户外礼拜服务，对教会社区和当地人开放。

The closest church is sitting on a corner site of Unyang-dong, Gimpo. Words like corner, edge and vertex connote the existence of more than one line or surface. The church has a façade divided by two conflicting with each other at the vertex of the site. One is a solid and fragmented concrete, proposed by considering the relationship with apartment residents, and the other is a transparent glass that opens views to the vast park and also to the church’s worship services. The chapel structured like the bleachers is designed to increase the capacity of the space built on a compact site. Small rooms are positioned behind of the inclined surface of the bleachers and on the top section of it so that the church can make the best use of its space. Especially, the outside stairs connecting the ground and the rooftop works as an important element defining the exterior of church, and the vivid movement of its users makes the church’s architectural statement more dynamic. The rooftop space which can host outdoor worship services is open for church communities as well as for locals.

最近的教堂是一个礼拜场所，一个文化场所，以及当地公寓社区的公共建筑。在这里找不到屋顶十字架，但在这里，十字架靠在墙上，低声说话。巨大的共鸣在听众中激起，而不是在讲述感人故事的演讲者之间，而崇高则停留在亲密而不是等级之中。下到地上的十字架会像一棵遮荫的树一样投下阴影，并与街上的人们分享生活的故事。

The closest church is a place of worship, a cultural venue and public architecture for the local apartment community which was being choked by commercialism. A rooftop cross can’t be found here, but here the cross is leaning on the wall and speaking with a humble voice. Big resonance stirs among listeners rather than among speakers who deliver a moving story, and the sublimity dwells in intimacy not in hierarchy. The cross descended onto the earth will cast a shadow like a shaded tree and will share a story of life with people on the street.
