台湾东门圣教会
Tainan Tung-Men Holiness Church

由专筑网李韧，严越编译

“我又看见圣城新耶路撒冷由神那里从天而降，预备好了，就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候丈夫。
城是四方的，长宽一样。天使用苇子量那城，共有四千里，长，宽，高都是一样；
那城内又不用日月光照，因有神的荣耀光照，又有羔羊为城的灯。
人必将列国的荣耀，尊贵归与那城。”
【启示录第二十一章】

I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God...
The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide...
The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
[Revelation 21:2、16、23 & 26]

这个项目来源于牧师接受上帝旨意的画面，台南东门圣洁教会（TMHC）用鹰象征圣经，它像是一个机场，使得非信徒进入上帝的王国。

This project originates from a vision that the pastor has received from God: Tainan Tung-Men Holiness Church (TMHC) symbolizes an eagle as a biblical metaphor, and it is like an airport, serving as a boarding gate for non-believers to enter into God’s kingdom.

该教堂位于一片现代住宅之中，为了响应城市文脉与牧师的意向，教堂的底层空间被用作例如咖啡屋、家庭友好型书店这样的社交场所，让教堂与周边的社区社会更加贴近，人们也将在社交活动中感受上帝的恩泽。阳光从大玻璃窗悄悄铺满通往圣堂的白色楼梯，这是世俗与神圣的转换。

The site of the new church is surrounded by secular residential buildings. Responding to this contextual city fabric as well as the pastor’s vision, the lower floors of the church are used as socializing spaces such as coffee shop and family-friendly book store, inviting the community in and knitting the church closely with the life of the neighborhood. On the other hand, the dematerializing, white staircase leading to the sanctuary above transforms the spatial characteristic from the mundane to sanctified space by guiding the act of rising and turning through spilled natural light.

楼上的圣堂是圣徒们崇敬礼拜上帝的地方，这个两层立方体由混凝土现场浇筑而成，自然光透过穿孔铝板制成的表皮洒向室内，一切是那么的和平、细腻、浑然天成，悬臂式木楼梯贯通圣堂与夹层。在开放的夹层与相邻的场地之间，人们能有着不同的空间体验。白色垂直楼梯在教堂的顶层静止，它将人们引导至三个单独的祈祷室，站在楼梯的顶端，玻璃墙外的白色十字架映入眼帘，人们的精神得到寄托。

Where the sanctuary signifies as the holy space to worship God, it is a raised two-story cubical volume formed by cast-in-place architectural concrete and illuminated by soft and sacred light filtered through the aluminum perforated screens on the church exterior. A cantilevered wood staircase at the back of the sanctuary takes the user through the sky figuratively before connecting back into the sanctuary mezzanine. The user has a different visual experience at the open mezzanine and the adjacent nursery looking back into the sanctuary. The white vertical staircase terminates at church’s top floor, which consists three separate pray rooms. The user standing at the top landing of the staircase looks out onto the prominent white cross rising above the spandrel glass in close distance to the glass exterior of the stairway.

大块洗练的混凝土给建筑带来一丝清凉，但暖色的木材和铜所构成的圣堂顶棚以及橡木楼梯和羽毛般的金属门框又给人们心中带来阳光般的温暖。

建筑外表皮的穿孔铝板所形成的羽毛效果使得教堂外部像一只展翅飞翔的鹰，在情感上和教堂内的成员紧密连接。每片“羽毛”的方向都经过严密的数学计算，呈现出渐变的韵律效果，教堂的主立面因此显得柔和透明流动。而从里往外看，“羽毛”们形成的轻薄的表皮，给世界带来奇特的光影效果。

The church is mainly composed of cool architectural concrete but balanced with warm wood and copper colors used for curved sanctuary ceiling, oak staircase and feather-like metal screens on the main facade.
The aluminum perforated screens or “feathers” on the church exterior pay homage to the eagle metaphor, connecting this contemporary architecture to the members of the church on the emotional level. The orientation of every feather is calculated by the Fibonacci sequence and it is varied by increments of two degrees from feather to feather. Thus, the main church façade appears to be soft, transparent and flowing. Looking out from inside, the feathers form a sheer fabric that presents the secular world outside in a different light.
