Russian Orthodox Church in Paris, France

April 03, 2011 Category: Religion

The Russian Orthodox Church designed by Editorial is located in Paris, France. Home of classic movies, fine art, ornate architecture and old romantics, the city of Paris is to become home to a new contemporary structure in the form of a Russian Orthodox cathedral and cultural centre, with officials suggesting that construction work may commence as early as next year.

Besides the religious heart of the project lies an array of cultural public facilities, including a library, classrooms, reception hall and public green space furnished with multiple terraces. The balance between ornate Russian design and the gentle elegance of Parisian architecture has be achieved by the French-Russian team, however one can note similarities between the undeniably distinctive silhouette and another recent example of contemporary French architecture.
