And no other diocese built more cutting-edge Brutalist homes for God than the Swiss Roman Catholic Church. Their architect of choice was Walter Maria Förderer. St John’s Church in Lucerne is his second sacral building. A trained sculptor, Förderer cut his teeth as an apprentice to Hermann Baur, a renowned Basel architect. He remained an unorthodox “concrete sculptor” who created more inhabitable sculptures than conventional buildings. St John’s Church is no exception: with its polymorphic, angular forms and interlocking elements, it immediately catches the eye. The sacral sculpture comprises a rectory, a chapel, flats and a school.
