Specified on protestant churches, we find that a church is a really special building. The design as to be serving the congregation, so they can serve their God. But the design also has to say something to the world. The question is if the charachteristics of modern architecture are capable of doing all this. A theoretical study will first show what modern architecture is, with its charachteristics. Than it will explain what a protestant church building should be. FInally it will show, by using two casestudies, that this combination is a struggle. Their characteristics are too contradicting to have both fully come to their own.
