First Unitarian Church of Rochester
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The First Unitarian Church in Rochester, New York was designed by architect Louis Kahn in 1959 to replace the previous church designed in 1859 by architect Richard Upjohn, founder of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).
Kahn's idea of the building was one that represented the ideas of the First Unitarian Church, with several concentric circles surrounding a central question. Like a member of the church may unwrap layers of a question, the building's layers surround the sanctuary.
