What disgusts me my dear friend is your blind fanatism to be met also in Greece. I have said nothing bad about the architecture. I have made a comment on the title of this article. As you know -better than me- the ‘Macedonian’ Orthodox church is not recognized by any other Orthodox church.
It is very obvious to me that no nation of our region has the exclusive right to be called ‘Macedonia’ cause we are all part of it. You are Slav-Macedonian, I am Greek Macedonian.
So let us work this out leaving the bad feelings of the past behind.
By the way… this is a much more interesting project than any contemporary churches I have seen in Greece.

Could somebody explain to me what is a “Macedonian Orthodox Church”?
I Live in the North of Greece on a Land called Macedonia since at least 500BC. Long before the Slavs ever appeared in Europe.
I am Greek Orthodox from Macedonia - Greece.

What has Zagreb to do with MACEDONIA?

The design of this church I find interesting - not bad.

i think that the entrance under the ‘floating’ tower is really successful…. also, the simplicity of the form of the church and how it seems that the tower is rotated ‘missing’ volume that makes the entrance garden..

To “Yes it is”:
The post has NOTHING to do with the quality of the work. You can post only only one image. That’s everything you need if the building is good. One can tell you’re new to these types of forums… perhaps even the internet?…
Oh, and the building sucks by the way.

I like the design, the shapes and the volumes, but for a church? , it`s quite simple and monotonous…..it is more like a restaurant, a lounge bar, something alike, but a church…. no

Architecture is not a sub-text of haute couture and the canons of rational Modernism are as valid today as they were at their inception. First rate work by Bif-Studio.
