Pius Church Meggen
The exterior of this cubical building in Meggen, Switzerland, doesn't reveal anything about it's contents; only it's bell tower and a little cross on the roof hint at it's sacriligious function. The façade, which looks like a steel frame contruction, is actually made up of very thin translucent plates of 'Penthelian Dionysos' marble (28 mm thick). As translucent as painted glass windows in other churches, the marble lets through daylight in warm tones of brown and yellow, to create a special ambience inside the church.
