Our Lady Queen of Heaven Church at Dublin Airport, designed by Andrew Devane and built in 1964 - Another building within ‘Unfulfilled Dreams’ project.
Being at the airport a few times a year I never had a chance to see it in other way rather than from the distance. Now I could touch it, feel the surface of each brick and concrete. Incredible experience.
Especially in such a day - bright, sunny, clear sky. It could not be better. Beautiful, simple building enriched visually with strong shadows which gives another dimension to it.

What beside the walls? Very simple, almost minimalistic atrium surrounded by straight columns followed by quiet interior with discreet, subtle illumination from stained glass windows.
All pure and majestic ... Absolutely wonderful …
