New Life Baptist Church \ Brooklyn, NY
The idea behind this Baptist Church in the East New York section of Brooklyn was to allow the symbolism of the cross to organize the, plan, section and elevation of the church volume.
This is introduced through the brick clad minimalism of its street facade, which celebrates the suspended white steel cross whose skewed abstracted axiality enters the church, embedding itself within the rectilinear plan and acting as a generator of the architectural form of the sky lit roof.
Dedicated: 1993 Brooklyn, NY
