Description
A high-walled interior space with cinder block and board-formed concrete surfaces. Light enters from clerestory openings above, illuminating the upper portions of the walls. On the lower wall, four red vertical panels are mounted side by side. In the dimly lit foreground, a wooden pulpit or lectern is silhouetted against the illuminated wall. The space emphasizes height, material texture, and minimal ornamentation.
