gethsemane lutheran church {colourful places & spaces}

If colour ever becomes its own religion, I think I found the ideal place of worship. Designed by Olson Kundig Architects, the redevelopment of Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Seattle is a striking combination of modern lines and glowing colour. The street-level chapel and courtyard feature clear and coloured glass panels set in two story high steel frames. As the sun shifts throughout the day, this busy downtown space becomes an ever-changing kaleidoscope of coloured light that manages to be both peaceful and vivid. I just love how the simple lines and colour palette turn the idea of traditional stained glass into modern art. No matter what your spiritual outlook may be, I can’t imagine finding this space anything less than heavenly…
