Dong Sheng Protestant Church

Dong Sheng Protestant Church

The main concept of the church is based on one of the most ecclesiastical symbols, the dove of peace. Early Christians portrayed baptism accompanied by a dove holding an olive branch in its peak and used the image as an allegory of peace.

The form of the draft plan is reminiscent of a white dove resting before flying. The peace that passes the silhouette is implicit from the beginning not only because of the floor plan that remembers of a dove but also because the distribution of spaces and the relationship between them, always with curved walls and a topography that embraces both the building and the persons frequenting it.
