The Folded Hyperbolic Paraboloid Church: Folded Walls and Slender Skylights

ArchiPrompt Editorial · 2026-08-06
Prompt
Design a parish church in the manner of Marcel Breuer whose whole envelope is made of folded concrete planes: two vast trapezoidal side walls leaning inward to meet a narrow slot of sky, the front wall splitting into a hyperbolic paraboloid banner. Compose blank sculptural concrete surfaces with no windows except a thin vertical slit at the fold, board-marked texture across the whole mass, a plain asphalt forecourt and mid-western lawn, hard low sun grazing one face, corner view showing two planes at once, 28mm lens, architectural photography, ultra photorealistic, 8K
