Allmann Sattler Wappner

Herz-Jesu-Kirche, Munich.

Haus der Gegenwart.

Architecture Office based in Munich. Founded in 1983 by Markus Allmann, Amandus Sattler and Ludwig Wappner.

His most outstanding work is the Herz Jesu Kirche (Church of the Heart of Jesus). The original church had been destroyed during a fire in 1994 and they won the competition to build a new building on the same site.

In this work, a translucent parallelepiped encloses another within itself, made of sheets of wood, which houses the entire liturgical space. The access is carried out from the porch located in front of the façade, through two carved doors.
