Title: Religious structures offer new, free architectural expression.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30481 RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES OFFER NEW, FREE ARCHITECTURAL EXPRESSION As modern architecture has surged into new areas of expression, houses of worship have provided the profession one of its most dramatic outlets. The president of the American Institute of Architects, Geoffrey N. Lawford, says architects “are finding increased encouragement in translating traditional building symbols and forms into meaningful contemporary terms” through religious structures. The New York Chapter of the AIA in January held a major exhibit on “Churches and Temples: Postwar Architecture” at a NYC gallery. Among the 21 religious structures featured were: (upper left) the “23 de Ener” (23rd of January) Roman Catholic church in Caracas, Venezuela, which utilizes a swooping design; the Lansing (Ill.) Presbyterian church (upper right), with sharp lines emphasizing man’s direct relationship to God; St. Patrick’s Catholic church in Oklahoma City, Okla., (lower left) an example of paraboloid, geometric design, and (lower right), a structure called the “Roofless Church,” a memorial to the Rappites, a utopian religious community which was founded in New Harmony, Ind., some 150 years ago.

Title: New Spanish church stresses simplicity.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31816 NEW SPANISH CHURCH STRESSES SIMPLICITY VITORIA, Spain -- A plain curving wall and gently pitched roof are marks of simplicity reflected in the interior of the new Roman Catholic Church of the Coronation of Our Lady at Vitoria, Spain. The solid structure, of local stone exterior and white concrete-walled interior, has a low block altar dominated by a dramatic, modernistic crucifix hanging on slender wires. With its bell-tower, which rises on four slim concrete columns, the church stands in sharp contrast to more conventional surrounding structures. The church is one of several featured in the new Holt, Rinehart and Winston volume, “New Churches of Europe,” by G.E. Kidder Smith, architectural historian and photographer.

In the cloistered garden of Our Lady is a fig tree which was planted more than 400 years ago by Friar Francisco Bobadella, one of the founders.

Title: Modern design.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31796 MODERN DESIGN BURLINGTON, Mass. -- The newly dedicated ultra-modern St. Malachy’s church -- which some say looks like a caterpillar -- draws parishioners and sight-seers. The Burlington, Mass., church was dedicated by Richard Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston. It is named in honor of St. Malachy, 12th Century Primate of Armagh, Ireland. The building’s unusual features include a cone-shaped baptistry near the main entrance and a three-prong fork-like steeple. A glass partition divides the interior at its mid-section to separate the main church from a smaller chapel. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (CB-BOS-11A-64-NAB)

Title: New Tokyo cathedral dedicated.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: C-31946 NEW TOKYO CATHEDRAL DEDICATED TOKYO -- This ultra-modern Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was dedicated by Peter Tatsuo Cardinal Doi, Archbishop of Tokyo, to replace the archdiocese’s church destroyed by fire in 1945. The $1.7 million structure is characterized by four step concrete roofs which also serve as walls, covering the entire sides. The four roofs meet in the center in the shape of cross more than 100 feet from the ground. Seating capacity of the nave is about 600 worshippers, with standing room for 2,000. Attending the ceremonies were thousands of faithful, Japanese government and business leaders and members of the foreign diplomatic corps. Pope Paul VI sent Cardinal Doi an artistically wrought chalice to be used in the cathedral, built with the aid of Catholics in Cologne, Germany, archdiocese.
