The windows of the Church of St. Martin in the Fields have a new, symbolic design. The warped windows are visually peculiar and intriguing. Designed by the talented visual artist Shirazeh Houshiary, the warped window design seems to recall a cross. The horizontal and vertical lines seem to be endlessly in motion while allowing the sun to illuminate the inside of the building.
Shaped like a twisted grid, the unique concept reunites the religious symbol while forming a new and spectacular spectacle. The window is lit all through the day and lets in the moonlight in the evening, making it constantly eye-catching and thought provoking. The warped windows of the Church of St. Martin in the Fields create a strong visual effect both inside the church building and the outside. The design combines the symbolism of a crucial moment in history with the celebration of light.
