Description
Detail view of concrete work at St. John's Abbey Church in Collegeville, Minnesota designed by Marcel Breuer and completed in 1961. "A trapezoidal design was chosen that showcased the architect's understanding of concrete, a material that not only acted to give structural support to the building but also served as the enclosure, the form,"--St. John's Abbey Church Tour (pdf) from St. John's Abbey church website.
