德國佛茨海姆　新使徒教堂

坐落於福爾茨海姆市的西側入口，本案周圍環繞公路、停車場和鐵路。這座全新建造的教堂位在一片綠意盎然的草地上，呈多邊形而造型獨特，雕塑般的外觀極具辨識度，一眼便能辨認其神聖建築的特性。屋頂外觀上的傾斜由東至西延伸，最高處的天窗為教堂大廳增添採光和幾分莊重。

The brightly shimmering, 15-metre-high new building of the New Apostolic Church rises out of a tree-lined meadow flanked by the multi-lane federal road 294, a parking lot, and the adjacent railroad line. The sculpturally shaped, polygonal structure marks the western entrance to the city of Pforzheim and is immediately recognizable as a sacred building. Its sloping roof rises from east to west and is crowned at its highest point by a striking skylight above the church hall. 

從長側的平緩坡道進入，訪客穿過四扇具有象徵意義的旋轉大門，來到圍繞長椅的恬靜庭院。三棵造型奇特的梨樹矗立在庭院中心，賦予空間一份寧靜氛圍，亦使訪客能從繁忙的主幹道路與日常喧囂中，過渡到教堂的莊嚴與安然，同時是群眾聚會的理想場所。

A flat ramp on the long side leads visitors through four emblematic pivot gates to a churchyard with benches on all sides. Three rock pears characterize the center of this courtyard in front of the church and create a place of arrival, tranquility, and transition from the noise of the busy main road and the hectic pace of everyday life to the solemnity and contemplation of the church service. This place is also well-suited as a meeting point for the congregation before and after the events.

從教堂的入口延伸，一條連貫的動線串聯庭院、前廳與大廳。將人們的步伐引向明亮中心：動線的核心是由夯土構成的祭壇與背牆，溫暖的光線從天窗照射下來，為這片空間注入神聖氣氛。自然光源透過側窗木條照亮室內，讓內斂的空間散發柔和光輝且別具韻味。

The church is accessed along a continuous spatial axis that links the　churchyard, the foyer, and the church hall. The visitor's path leads towards the light: The focal point of the central axis is the altar made of rammed earth and its rear wall, which is illuminated by warm grazing light from above. Daylight filtered through wooden slats also enters the church interior via the side windows, so that the noticeably introverted room nevertheless appears very bright and inviting.

在建築材料方面，設計師選用泥土抹灰、白松木和白色水磨石，利用自然材質與空間的色調彼此襯托，帶來獨特而寫實的氛圍，整個空間因而顯得溫馨且富有魅力。淡色天然石屑被巧妙地嵌入仍然潮濕的外牆抹灰中，為簡約材料增添深刻質感。這座教堂巧妙地融合了自然環境與神聖氣息，造就靜謐而富有靈性的空間，讓每位訪客都能在此地尋回平靜與獲得感發。

The chosen material combination of clay plaster, silver fir wood, and white terrazzo works with the natural colors of these materials. This gives the sacred space an independent and authentic character and a sensual, warm feel. Light-colored natural stone chippings were pressed into the still-damp exterior plaster of the church, giving the simple material of plaster the necessary value. The church seamlessly blends nature and the sacred, creating a serene and spiritual space where every visitor can find peace and inspiration.
