A baptist church (Nov 2007) 基督教堂设计

A church in a high density urban fabric, fill the space in between the existing structure or retain the urban void? my choice is to rebuke what Rem Koolhaas did to fill-in urban "left over" space(like what he did for a school under a rail track).
Retain and return urban void to the public! This contemporary church is not a chunky block that is so solid and dominant, welcome all the people in while retain the privacy of the church by lifting the congregation hall up. Problem of site: 1. space planning in narrow area. 2. Connectivity and relation to the adjacent building.
