House On The Rock
Abuja, Nigeria
In designing a sacred place of worship the symbols for prayer, womanhood and the cross become central.
- The hands in prayer: the celebration of faith
- The womb: the genesis of life
- The cruciform: the universal symbol of Christianity, the celebration of sacrifice
- The Hegel philosophy: Architecture is a reflection of the spirit of the particular age in which it is built
The Architecture of faith thus, should be a reflection of the faith and times of the peoples that this Architecture will represent today and tomorrow.
Dynamism, vibrancy and spirituality express the strength and faith of the congregation. A contemporary Church for a contemporary congregation.
The House is built upon a rock.
