Pavilion of Religions

The National Garden Show 2012 in Bamberg…

…allowed for the first time, even if only temporarily, to build a place of worship for three religions. During the State Garden Show 2012 the house of prayer of religions invited Christians, Jews and Muslims “to touch the paradise“.

The project…

…had a lifetime of about six months, from April 26th to October 7th 2012. The diameter of the base plate was about 10m, the usable floor area was 60m² and the total height of the structure was about 6,10m.
A dome of three, in the same direction curved, printed surfaces embodied the three monotheistic religions that revolved around a common center. The main structure consisted of three symmetrically arranged steel tubes which met at the highest point on a circular ring.

This supporting structure was covered with a printed translucent membrane. Due to the translucency of the fabric, the printing could also be seen from inside. At the same time it ensured adequate illumination without additional light sources.
