Architecture + Religion At Old St Paul's
Contemporary
German Architecture
Important Dates: 7th - 22nd June 2006
Description of Event:
The Goethe-Institute is
proud to present the most stunning sacral
structures
recently built in Germany.
The exhibition - initiated by the Goethe-Institut in co-operation with the Gallery Aedes in Berlin - analyses the recent development in religious buildings and discusses contemporary German architecture.
The last years have seen the realisation of
the most amazing religious
buildings for all
denominations. "Made in Germany - Architecture +
Religion"
presents nine of these religious buildings in
all their diversity.
The examples show sites of inner
calm and collective meditation, as well as the
ways in
which a younger generation of architects integrates artistic
and
metaphorical character.
The placement of this exhibition in New Zealand's icon, Old St Paul's, creates a fabulous contrast between contemporary German architecture and this unique 1866 Gothic church built of native New Zealand timber.
