but also provides the emotional component of experience described by Bunshaft.7 It is not surprising, therefore, that similar material strategies can be found in the subsequent design of religious spaces by a range of architects. The St. Pius Church at Meggen, Switzerland, for example, was designed by Franz Fueg and completed in 1966, three years after the Beinecke Library. A simple rectangular volume encloses a main worship space and altar, wrapped on four sides by walls of translucent stone. The building envelope incorporates marble panels of a similar thinness (28 millimeters) to the Beinecke Library and likewise offsets its amber-toned luminous stone with a clearly expressed structural system, in this case steel columns which are integral with the walls and support the exposed steel trusswork of the roof.8 St. Pius is a modern, abstract reinterpretation of the tradition of stained glass in religious architecture, utilizing the concept of embodied light as the representation of divine presence in the church. A similar approach is taken by architects von Gurkan, Marg & Partners in their design of the Christ Pavilion, completed in 2000 in
5.15 Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles, California, USA. Rafael Moneo, 2002.
