VITRA DESIGN CHURCH
Vitra design church has located near a park with a great view and suitable place for praying. The existing building was Vitra design museum by one of the famous architect Frank Ghery. His design was a place to show art work and design from around the world.
The new version of the building has deleted all the interior walls to have a better and bigger space for the people who come there for praying.
The existing building was 2 storey but in this new design we especially made it one storey with same wall height, and that’s because for the art works of the Jesus and the other Christians symbols.
As you walk through the interior, when u look up to ceiling you can clearly see the cross sign at the roof, which also have the glass material on it to give the visitor a better expression.
at last I can say the Virta design Church has a better interior view a good place to be relax and pray, and also the material which has been used for interior and exterior have been made from concrete, wood and glass.

For my re-envisioning of the Vitra museum, I’m thinking to change it to a church.
As u can see in the A3 montages poster, I’ve come with some ideas about how my church going to be look like...

CASE STUDY
FRANK GEHRY-Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, built by Ferrovial[1] and located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. It is in the community of Euskera, Spain. It is built alongside the Nervion River, which runs through the city of Bilbao to the Atlantic Coast. The Guggenheim is one of several museums belonging to the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum features permanent and visiting exhibits of works by Spanish and international artists
The curves on the building were designed to appear random. The architect has been quoted as saying that "the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light". When it was opened to the public in 1997, it was immediately hailed as one of the world's most spectacular buildings in the style of Deconstructivism, although Gehry does not associate himself with that architectural movement. Architect Philip Johnson called it "the greatest building of our time".
