  What do you do when your baroque-style church was designed without a dome? Easy; you install one. And if you do it as elegantly as Gijs Van Vaerenbergh you earn a standing ovation. It seems to me that their installation serves as an ideal case study to communicate the elusive meaning of negative space in architecture. The Upside Dome by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh; Leuven, Belgium.

  I guess they liked Sanaksenaho’s St.Henry’s Church. A lot. Catholic Church of the Transfiguration by DOS Architects - Lagos, Nigeria.

  Saturday Night Classics: Round 1

  (photo by aldoaldoz)

  I’ve decided to start sharing some of my architectural classics faves every Saturday night (or so). I’m more inclined to actually post details of said classics, so I’ll try to keep it simple and interesting. Let’s kick it off with Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista (1964), by Giovanni Michelucci - Firenze, Italy.
