devine providence temple
Warsaw - third prize
In the Old Testament, in the parable of the Flood, the rainbow is a symbol of reconciliation of people with God. God spreads it over the sky, when the purifying cataclysm on Earth is over. We decided that in case of Poland the fact of regaining independence is a parallel return under the wings of Divine Providence. Designed temple towers above bow- shaped square. This bow refers to a rainbow. On four sides the building is cut open with long slits. On the top of the church there are small openings, ascribed to important dates in history of Poland. On particular dates the rays go through the matching gap and fall on the prism placed beneath the vault of the temple. The prism would diffract the light creating a slight rainbow- hued glow on the walls- the symbol of Divine Providence.
