As a brief respite from all the pre-modern art & architecture we've been studying, and perhaps as an antidote to the kebab and frisbee stories (you really hit a Bernini sculpture with a frisbee?! please don't ever let that happen again.) ... here are a few shots from our day trip to Richard Meier's church in the Tor Tre Teste neighborhood/suburb east of Rome. It was built for the Jubilee in 2000, though not completed until 2003, and is known as the "Jubilee Church" - but something like 50 churches were built for the Jubilee around the outskirts of Rome, so the more accurate name for this one is "Dio Padre Misericordioso" or "God the Merciful Father." A few shots here are composites, and one is of the students doing some sketching ...
