  • S. 45: „Rudolph Schwarz showed the way in his Corpus Christi church erected in Aachen in 1930. Schwarz, who must be ranked with August Perret as the father of modern church architecture, tried to fashion a pure space that would by its peace and simplicity achieve a sacredness that requires no help from pictures. [15 Rudolph Schwarz, The Church Incarnate: The Sacred Function of Christian Architecture, translated by Cynthia Harris (Chicago 1958).] He learned to achieve a sacredness of space by the mere proportions, the lighting, the uncluttered simplicity of his designs. Romano Guardini finds in this very absence of images an image of the Ineffable. "This very absence of images in the holy Temple, this void, is it not also itself an image? It is no paradox to say that an unencumbered space ... is not the negation of an image but its antipode. It stands to the image as silence does to speech. No sooner does a man enter such an `empty´ space than he senses a hidden presencei Such a space, in short, expresses what human forms and concepts fail to say about God.“[16 Sacred Images and the Invisible God,“, The Furrow, VIII (June, 1957), p. 353.]“
