Samenvatting
Internationally renowned architect I. M. Pei commented that if Marcel Breuers church for Saint Johns Abbey had been built in New York instead of the north woods of Minnesota it would be world famous. Hamilton Smith, Breuers longtime associate, wrote that the completed church was that rare thing, an architectural design fully realized, and he regarded it as Breuers finest achievement. The junior member of the twelve-monk planning committee recounts in warm and frequently humorous detail how its members related to the Hungarian-born Bauhaus-trained architect who had no background in church architecture but shared their belief in the enduring quality of simple materials sympathetically used. How the strong architect-client relationship survived the strain of disagreement at a critical moment in completion of the church is the narrative high point in this informal record of four years in which the reader sees a masterpiece of modern church architecture take shape.
