‘The Church of Perpetual Experimentation’ - Adam Nathaniel Furman

This is some of the great work produced by Adam in his final year at the AA. 

A design for a new church in one of the suburbs of Rome, set within the factious context of a new pontificate that is devoted to the restructuring and expansion of the church, its liturgies and its architecture. The site is set aside by the new pope as a field of experimentation, where the doctrinal and liturgical innovations being developed over the Tiber in the Vatican are immediately put to test and trial with the practicing — and non-practicing — public. All development in the work is structured around the theme of Assemblage, so that all scales, from structural unit, through to the composition of those units into spaces, and then the arrangement of those spaces themselves, are governed by a logic of assemblage, aggregation, and eventually in time, recombination.
