Church form architecture is already rare in the east,the impression given to most people is sublime and sacred with many zenith paintings,gods,angels,this seems to have formed a fixed,inertial mind. When I got this case, I was wondering how I could design a different kind of space in a building with a strong sense of form.“Breakthrough”becomes the first theme.And breakthrough is not means giving up everything in the past,but reservations the important part and changes. It’s absolutely necessary to keep some kind of zenith painting in such an elevated frame space,otherwise it will appear too empty.But there no more copy painting formed by religion in the traditional sense,must be open a new path.I think if God really exists then he must be able to see through everything in the world whatever man-made or natural,has no secret in the eyes of God.So “anatomy” became the theme of zenith painting.Human,animal,machine,toys and so on all become the protagonists in the painting.Showing each other their secrets.The idea is characterized by breaking through traditional habits,using the eastern way of thinking to solve problems.That is means to break though the traditional form while preserving it’s spirit.
