Description
Detail view of sculpture with cross motif at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1961. "Wright's circular design represented a radical departure from traditional Byzantine church architecture, yet it retained the concept of a domed space and incorporated symbols and colors associated with the Greek Orthodox faith. The basic design of the church is based on the Greek cross inscribed with a circle. This characteristic motif is repeated in several decorative features which include the gold anodized aluminum icon screen, and the gates to the exterior sunken garden,"--Wright in Wisconsin website.
