Darkness can arouse the most instinctive fear of human beings, and people often yearn for light and run away from it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, the buildings under the general step are windowed, and people always like to have an unobstructed view of the open landscape, such as the lake, such as the top of the mountain, etc...

But this room is different, very weird.

Marcel. Neresky two masters of the classical genre, Simo. The two modernist masters of Chevaste and the two world-class masters of the island country Kisho Kurokawa have been habitually looking around since they entered the room.

Through the dim light, they were surprised to find that there were only a few small windows on the four walls of this room, and they seemed to be stiffly added.

This kind of window opening not only does not make people calm, but it arouses people's sense of fear even more.

The walls are made of concrete, which is undoubtedly a dehuman, cold building material.

Surrounded by such materials, it can cause an additional burden on the minds of the people inside.

"It's really a church..."

"And not..."

"Haunted house?"

Even the masters had such doubts in their hearts.

Sure enough, uneasiness, heaviness and even fear gradually developed among the crowd.

Qianhe's little face was nervous, and her little hand tightly grabbed Juetong's clothes.

The rest of the people, their eyes flickered a little, and they couldn't help but lean slightly against the people around them.

"Please come with me."

"Be careful, there are steps."

John drew the kerosene lamp and made another sound, his voice was neither high nor low, very peaceful.

'Crunch...'

Footsteps on the wooden floor, the creaking sound heard clearly in the silence of the darkness.

This crunch sound seems to arouse people's fear more and more, and it seems to be constantly torturing everyone from the level of the heart.

The believers were seated on either side of a staircase, and everyone sat down along with each other.

John stood on the lowest altar, and he was about the height of the people who were seated.

This is one of the differences in the churches here, in the rest of the churches, the altar tends to be high!

In the darkness, people are silent, restless, and afraid.

"Please don't be silent and be patient."

Just when the crowd couldn't bear it, and even rebuked them with some annoyance, John took the first step to reassure, and his words at this time revealed a surprising majesty.

Everyone was muffled, and the anger in their hearts grew.

Many people feel like they're getting into a joke and teasing.

Banxia put her arms around the company and leaned slightly, she stroked her hair, looked at the altar with a smile, and looked at the black hole behind John.

He guessed John's intentions, and looked at the time again, it was already five thirty o'clock, and the time of sunrise was approaching.

Tick-tock, time passes slowly.

The time was 5:36.

Suppressed, the priests in the room, including the designers, couldn't sit still.

But at this moment, the first rays of the sun in Sydney City rose from the east and soon dyed the sky red.

A flush in the distance to the north-east!

Then, a faint light spilled into the church, and it pierced through the huge scale of the light cross!

Behind the altar, the heavy fair-faced concrete is shattered into four parts by the light cross that penetrates into it, redefining the space.

Light began to seep into the gap between the wall and the top...

At this moment, everyone's wheezing voices were obviously much thicker, and their pupils suddenly dilated!

In the room, darkness and light were colliding so intensely that people only felt that their scalps were blowing up, and goosebumps were popping up all over their bodies!

As the sun rises, the light shines brighter and brighter, and the dazzle carries the sacred!

How uneasy, fearful, and apprehensive people were before, how much light and hope rose in their hearts at this moment.

The emotions in everyone's hearts were aroused!

A huge cross of light is reflected in everyone's eyes, and the continuous line of light symbolizes the reverence and awe of the distance.

All the priests, including Daniel and Bishop Arthur, bowed down and prayed to their God!

All the believers bowed down, and at this moment, they felt that God had come!

No one doubts that this simple building can no longer be simple is the church, undoubtedly the best church of the century!

A devotional religious atmosphere pervades the space.

Marcel. Master Neresky's eyes widened, his mouth open, and the shock in his heart almost erupted.

Martin. Klaison stared at the massive Cross of Light.

Simon. Chevast, Jamie. Derek, Kurokawa Kisho, and Kenzo Tange all understand!

They understood why this church appeared in such a form, and they couldn't help but look at Bai Juetong, their expressions full of admiration!

"Abstract, solemn, silent, pure space."

"The human spirit has found a dwelling place!"

Kelly. Neresky, Adrian. Smith and Masayuki Kurokawa were all in tears.

They are ashamed!

They have no eyes!

They remembered their disdain for Bai Jue Tong that day, and they just wanted to drill a hole in the ground at the moment!

"World-class architecture!"

Marcel. Neresky's mind was filled with words: "Another world-class building!" ”

"God!"

"I'm crazy."

"Or the world is crazy!"

The community church was overrun by modernists, and will the cathedral be far away?

Was Bai Jue Tong sent by God to punish the classical genre?!

It wasn't until dawn that the silent, devout believers and priests woke up from their prayers.

"Father John, please forgive me for my misunderstanding and neglect of you!"

Bishop Arthur stood up and bowed deeply to John.

All the priests and believers follow suit.

Father Daniel, who had been conquered the moment the Cross of Light appeared, sincerely apologized to John and begged for forgiveness.

Father John didn't care about the apology, he just shook his head and forgave the misunderstanding.

With a gentle smile, he respectfully invited Bai Jingtong to the altar and asked Bai Jingtong to speak.

His hand rested lightly on the lectern next to the altar, and with a smile, he said loudly:

"I've been to some churches, although not too many, but I find that the altar always seems to be higher than the believer's position."

"The altar gives a sense of sacredness and solemnity, and the church is even more lofty."

The priest, the master, and all the believers were all listening to the speech, and his voice was very loud and echoed in the church****** Tong looked at the crowd with clear eyes, and said:

"And I care about equality for everyone, and I want the church I designed to have an equal relationship between the priest and the audience."

"So in this church, the steps go down, and the altar is in the lower part, so that the priest stands as high as the seated audience, and thus we are eliminated from the psychology of inequality."

Jue Tong paused, and then his voice suddenly rose a few points: "I think this is the essence of this church!" ”

The essence is not the cross of light, but this detail!

Everyone was surprised, but quickly fell into thought.

Father Arthur, Father John, and many other priests were thoughtful and solemn...

Applause!

Fr. Arthur said that he would tell the Pope word by word this dialogue of Bai Jingtong, thanking him for his great contribution to Catholicism!

Bai Hengtong nodded with a smile, and when he was about to leave the altar, Father John suddenly called out to him again:

"Designer Bai Jue, please choose a name for this church!"

"All believers, including me, will always remember your contributions!"

Jue Tong stopped, glanced at the bright light in the room, and said loudly:

"Let's call her the 'Church of Light'!"
