Title: Cure Penabad-Our Lady of Guadalupe - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Ecclesiastical architecture has traditionally contrasted interior and exterior with the intent of differentiating the sacred from the profane. Thus churches tend to be hermetic, since difference is best cultivated behind impermeable and clearly demarcated boundaries. The design of the Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Fort Wayne, Indiana, holds on to the traditional contrast but also aims for openness and continuity with the landscape. The project achieves this double goal by differentiating between phenomena rather than environments. Thus the exterior is visible from the nave but perceived and understood in ways particular to that perspective. Once you step outside, the same features of that environment take on a different character, a new meaning.
