PRINCE OF PEACE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY

PLANO, TEXAS | 40,000 SQFT | COMPLETED IN 1994

AIA DALLAS HONOR AWARD 1995

“. . . A village of buildings, each dramatically different in form and finish, is anchored by a round sanctuary with links to early Christian churches.  This village is set in a flat prairie landscape where the architects created a figural river that alludes to both a real creek nearby and to the baptismal waters of life. . . .

“Those who think that Prince of Peace is over the edge are partly correct.  The collision of ideas and materials and structural systems is almost audible in places.  But the basic concept, and many of the individual elements, are flat out brilliant, just the kind of architecture that one would hope a new congregation in a new landscape would embrace.”
