nouvelle église saint-laurent in riddes by xavier furrer and willy jeiziner


One kooky thing about all these Brutalist churches in Switzerland is that despite the common architectural language, they are designed by different architects. Walter Maria Förderer (1928-2006) came up with the language, but others, including Xavier Furrer and Willy Jeiziner with this church/fire station in Riddes, used the same design principles. Finished in 1971, the locals sadly painted the concrete in 2018. However, the interior still sings of its original glory.
