the ‘korean presbyterian church’ located in queens, new york by californian-based architect greg lynn is a 1500 capacity sanctuary situated on the roof of a renovated laundry factory. the undulating skin is an addition constructed out of wooden planks braced in a steel frame inviting the visitors of the congregation. the layering of the sections allow an openness to the facade creating framed sight lines into the community. the interior space features a canopy structure mimicking the exterior which produces an open air-like environment leading the visitors eye to the central preaching area. the inner flaps are back lit to generate an intimate ambiance to the sermon.
