Church of the Holy Ghost in Brno - Líšeň

We wish to build a church that will be the natural center of gravity of the entire Brno Líšeň housing estate, which will mark and strengthen the terraces in front of it and offer breathtaking panoramic views. Create a meeting place for all residents.
We wish a church that will carry the depth of tradition and thus be completely contemporary. We wish a church that will accommodate different types of liturgy and personal meditation. We wish a church to which all generations would like to go. We wish the church, which in its expression will be the current cipher of transcendence, the threshold to what transcends us. A church that will provide home to believers as well as shelter and an inspiring environment for all who seek the essence of things and events, who want to step out of the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stop in silence. We wish a church that will not become uncommon under the excess of contemporary design.
The concept is based on the principle of a kind of yard covered by a light (statute) construction of a quadratic outline. The roof shell (tent) diffusely transmits daylight. In a contemporary way, it evokes the lightness of desert temples (tents), the airiness of the ribs of medieval cathedrals and the clarity of Baroque spatial plans. The courtyard of Jerusalem, heavenly, is surrounded by galleries, which are intermittently woven temple outbuildings (like chapels) with various accompanying (service) functions.
