pilgrim's dorms along the processional route. not a pretty girl but she's got character.
the repeated units, the colourful treatment of the ground floor, the seating integrated with the columns made me think of herman hertzberger - and through him aldo van eyck.
in böhm's original proposal, which was too expensive to build, the rooms were grouped together with a great sensivity for the sense of community that may spontaneously arise between people who are sharing an experience, an event, be it pilgrimage, accidents, or the olympics...
the sensitivity is still there, I find, in the built form.

the sunken cathedral in autumn colours. böhm used the terrain to lessen the impact of the enormous church on its small scale context.
we are looking from the street down onto the processional route.

possibly my favourite photo from the church. in very dark spaces, light can present itself almost as a physical entity, as a body of light.
this must be seen on a black background.
the photo is taken from the galleries of the church. the wall to the right filters the light into the main space which we will soon enter.
