Join Docomomo US/WEWA for a talk and tour of Christ Episcopal Church in Tacoma, WA.
Built in 1969-70 and designed by prominent Seattle architect Paul Thiry, the church describes its building as "a modern sanctuary standing in sharp contrast to the traditional rectangular, long-nave building that preceded it. Thiry’s admiration for Le Corbusier’s seminal chapel of Notre-Dame du Haut in Ronchamp, France, is reflected in multiple design and construction elements. The use of plain, poured concrete is its most startlingly modern element. Yet, for all its modernity, the profound simplicity of its interior reflects the solemnity and severity of early Romanesque Christian basilicas."
