charly moeller’s thoughts about ecclesiastical architecture

ecclesiastical architecture should be pure architecture with a true experience of space. sacral rooms are a reference to the infinite space of the universe. it leads one to suspect divine superiority. maybe this is another expression of the concept “holiness” - a sanctuary. my architecture has to be ageless, the main task is the overcoming of the absence of change.

buildings and structural design impact human’s physical aspects. they should effect changes of mind. they should put changing rooms on a level with changing the mind. this can be achieved by a change in the lighting of the room. my rooms’ task is to provide the human with a pure form of structure, light and shape. all furniture and fixture have to subordinate to the room in order to stress its intention. this is the reason for architects having hardly a chance to preserve penultimate beauty in designing structures.
