POPE JOHN PAUL II HALL, croatia

the new POPE JOHN PAUL II HALL in croatia is spectacular

the perfect example of a simple concept executed perfectly

I really like the modular bricks and how the variances between the bricks form the openings in the brick skin of the structure. A beautifully simple expression. I love it.

from ArchDaily:
"The new construction consists of two elements: a generic volume of the hall and a columned portico that creates a new public square within the monastery. The Hall is cladded in a single terracotta-brick surface with a pixelated structure created by the changing gap between the elements, bringing the light in the hall."
