Do not fear!
...Brothers and sisters, do not fear to receive Christ in yourselves and to leave yourselves to his power Open, open your doors wide for Christ! His saving power, open the borders of state for it, the borders of the political and economic systems, of the huge domain of culture, civilization, development. Do not fear! Christ knows, what is going on in people, and he alone knows it...
John Paul II in October 1978
The open embrace as symbol of his work
The open embrace as an architectural symbol. All the nations of the world are manifested in the fassade of the hous of John Paul II.
As no other pope before him, John Paul II made his person to a public person. As director and actor he counted on the power of gestures and words. His public appearance was always exactly dramaturgically planned beforehand. He knew how to create emotions. The open embrace as a symbol of his work constitutes the architectonic backbone of the complex in the present project.As he placed great importance on symbolic work, the present project is a built narrative gesture of the person John Paul II.The human skeleton builds a cross consisting of his shoulder and pelvic girdle. This form of a cross can explicitly be seen if a human being opens his/her arms. With this gesture they also become a sign for love. Thus, man becomes a symbol for Christ s love, who opened his arms on the cross.
If you open your arms, you will stand as cross in front of the world! Quoted: Christine Busta
The Embrace as System of Coordinates and Cosmic Symbol
The open embrace as a symbol oft a system of coordinates. A symbol of the cosmic cross. No pope before has travelled as much as John Paul II. This is also a clear political legacy.The nations of the world are symbolized by windows in the façade as it were a white dress like pearls on the robe -, which send their light into the chapel in the evening and where they are bundled and reflected to heaven the eternity.The beams of light are inscribed as "cosmic equation" into this place and will place as "system of coordinates" in a relativistic society a spacial adequate gesture in cosmopolitan Europe, to which the actual form John Paul II. had contributed so much by his work.
John Paul II: "history of mankind naturally develops in horizontal dimensions in space and time, but at the same time it is suffused with a vertical dimension. Because it is not the human beings alone who write history "
Each place may be described in a geographic way by its coordinates. Thus, the cross had been used thousands of years ago. John Paul II now states the position of this coordinates.At the place Lagiewniki - which also played an important role in John Pau Il`s history his legacy is clearly determined by its position. By his work, John Paul II leaves a pattern for orientation (system of coordinates), which defines its position at this place with its highly symbolic nature. We interpret the connection of horizontal and vertical as this system of coordinates, which becomes manifest as embrace in a building, a symbol for the cosmic cross.
The Façade as Dress
The glass-cubes inscribed into the façade will offer to the user of the building small places to stop for personal contemplation, for meditation. One may step out of the building with its purported functions and individually reflect the experienced and learned in a place which is intimate and exciting at the same time.
Place of energy
The forecourt serves as place of approach and as location for great Masses as well. Thus at great events it will become an interior space of an open-air cathedral. The embrace as high altar, the chapel as tabernacle, and the altar in direction of the people in the centre of whole complex.
Chapel and Labyrinth
The labyrinth and the place of the cosmic cross There is a labyrinth inscribed into the forecourt, which ends in the place of the altar of the chapel. Visitors may take up this path and approach to the centre in a meditative spiritual manner or choose the direct way into John Paul II?s house. If one reaches the centre inside the chapel, the chapel will rise high up as spiral like a visible way to heaven.
