Description
View of scaffolding along one side of the St. Francis de Sales church in Muskegon, Michigan, designed by Breuer and Beckhard in 1967. "...the deep ribbed finish of the hyperbolic paraboloid sidewalls was created by staggering the edges of regular boards that served as the formwork. The original one-story narthex that extended from the base of the facade has been expanded by the construction of two wings that extend out in each direction and contain various support spaces for the church,"--Michigan Modern website.
