The new church goes towards revival of Koinonia.
God is invisible but I believe that he works and deeply engage to individuals all the time in the manner of people’s gathering and scattering for his ultimate goal of ingathering.
Gospel is about living within society with others.
Gospel should be integrated into individual life.
The church is transitional space in between which takes role of platform that binds the gap between God and Mankind. Church drives people to find their own purpose of life through Koinonia; fellowship, association, community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy.
Church is the field where creates a bond between comrades, when people are recognized, share their common possession, and united. (It is the meaning of Koinonia.) Fellowship is never passive in the meaning of Koinonia, it is always linked to action, not just being together, but also doing together. With fellowship comes a close and intimate relationship embracing ideas, communication, and frankness, as in a true, blessed interdependent friendship among multiple group members. Because it can only achieve through encountering, church manifests as the place of Koinonia, to world of individualism.
Binding Curve
The Koinoniac Church is the open field in which Koinonos easily can access.
It provides encountering spaces from 10 bodies to more than 2000 hearts.
It has broken silhouette, however continuous wall of church gently guide them to entre the church and experience continuous landscape both inside and outside. Composition of fragments integrated, interlocked each others as a gesture of reunification. Thus Koinonos harmonize in the church that links them together, not vertically but horizontally. Wounded people, flow into the church for renewal kinship through experiencing Koinonia. Consequently, they flow out to the living Society. They never stagnated but keep flowing.
The church is very concentrative towards Liturgy, as well as linearly composes spaces for participating events, learning from others. Scattered countermeasures within various scales and formal articulation, guide velocity of people’s flow, as well as provoke to achieve the purpose of Koinonia. By doing so, people experience sequential enwombing spaces for encountering. Therefore, form follows the flow.
Modelling is ongoing.
very slow...
1. Main Stream (red) is remained which directly lead you to Main Space.
2. There's no dead end in south part of site.
3. intersecting points without cell will be different height. - Landscape generating.
Trying to finish up modelling ASAP.
According to Plan 01, interweaving paths is quite mess, need to configure a bit more.
But position of cells still the same.
going to
1. configure all the path leading to main space.
2. prototype100, 10 add
3. landscape design in between the path.
4. thickness
1. Plan ver.01
2. How intersection point working with cell.
top view with path as starting point of plan / how intersecting points is working by cell.
Plan is on going.
1. 6 Main Streams (path) that lead entre & exit cells and worship space.
- main 6 stream started from existing path on the site.
2. connection between each cells becomes wall/path
3. need to build up in 3D how I can develop it further.
1. site boundary is roughly 300m X 100m
2.Cells are positioned according to 5 inter weaving lines, and entrance and exit.
3. going to create extension of wall between cells.
Site size is 300m X 100m.
Number of cells (3 prototypes) & angle is decided according to interweaving lines.
Need to configure, connection among the cells.
I think site is still vast, (670m x 240m) need to reconfigure.
Interweaving lines comes more onto it according to formal language.
1. intersecting points become nodes that goes up and down along with each curve, from 2~3,4 curves line generates path and wall, which becomes cells.
2. cells; Cells are going to be generated not only on the intersection points but also between the curves.
Using Interweaving curve as machine that generates wall and path at the same time.
It engages my formal language of binding curve.
PLAN of 2nd floor level
SECTION view from East to West
Back to work of PLAN configuration on the site.
Floor, Underground chapels, 2nd floor for Koinos, and Choirs are continuously connected by integrated curve
PLAN of ground level
SECTION view from South to North
Ongoing_Making Continuous Consistancy of curve, Prototype 1500
Need to develop
1. Creating a path by continuous curve wall not creating valley for peopele's movement.
2. Need to reduce down number of Prototype 100.
3, Need a labanotation on the site how I lead people to main liturgy space before and after. (ref. La Tourette)
Prototype1500 Plan / Section
Prototype 1500 will be located as a centre point of the site. - only one prototype 1500
(problem ; floating 2nd floor need to be attached to wall, floor need to be all continuous as well.)

Community and family become closely intertwined, because aiming at a common unity strives to overcome brokenness, divisiveness, and, ultimately gaining wholeness with each of the members, with their environment, and with their God. They merge by giving mutual support. Both fellowship and community imply an inner and outer unity.

Koinonia is the anglicisation of a Greek word (κοινωνία) that means partnership or fellowship. The word is used frequently in the New Testament of the Bible to describe the relationship within the early Christian church. As a result the word is used frequently within Christian circles to describe the fellowship and community of Christians - or more frequently the idealised state of fellowship and community that should exist.
New Testament usage of koinonia
The essential meaning of the koinonia embraces concepts conveyed in the English terms fellowship, association, community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy. By extension, koinonia refers to the share one has in a joint venture or relationship. Koinonia can therefore refer in some contexts to a jointly contributed gift or in other contexts to the offering of one’s hand as a pledge of fellowship. In the New American Standard Version, it is translated “fellowship” twelve times, “sharing” three times, and “participation” and “contribution” twice each.
Sharing
Koinonos means 'a sharer' as in to share with one another in a possession held in common. It implies the spirit of generous sharing or the act of giving as contrasted with selfish getting. When koinonia is present, the spirit of sharing and giving becomes tangible. In most contexts, generosity is not an abstract ideal, but a demonstrable action resulting in a tangible and realistic expression of giving.
In classical Greek, koinonein means "to have a share in a thing," as when two or more people hold all things in common. It can mean "going shares" with others, thereby having "business dealings,” such as joint ownership of a ship. It can also imply "sharing an opinion" with someone, and therefore agreeing with him, or disagreeing in a congenial way. Participation is vital because vital as the members are sharing in what others have. What is shared, received or given becomes the common ground through which Koinonia becomes real.
"Koinonos" in classical Greek means a companion, a partner or a joint-owner. Therefore, koinonia can imply an association, common effort, or a partnership in common." The common ground by which the two parties are joined together creates an aligned relationship, such as a "fellowship" or "partnership". In a papyrus announcement a man speaks of his brother "with whom I have no koinonia", meaning no business connection or common interest. In the New Testament, (Luke 5:10) James, John, and Simon are called “partners” (koinonia ). The joint participation was a shared fishing business.
Two people may enter into marriage in order to have "koinonia of life", that is to say, to live together a life in which everything is shared. Koinonia was used to refer to the marriage bond, and it suggested a powerful common interest that could hold two or more persons together.
The term can also relate to a spiritual relationship. In this sense, the meaning something that is held and shared jointly with others for God, speaking to man's "relationship with God". Epictetus talks of religion as ‘aiming to have koinonia with Zeus". The early Christian community saw this as a relationship with the Holy Spirit. In this context, koinonia highlights a higher purpose or mission that benefits the greater good of the members as a whole. The term "enthusiasm" is connected to this meaning of koinonia for it signifies “to be imbued with the Spirit of God in Us."
To create a bond between comrades is the meaning of koinonia when people are recognized, share their joy and pains together, and are united because of their common experiences, interests and goals. Fellowship creates a mutual bond which overrides each individual’s pride, vanity, and individualism, fulfilling the human yearning with fraternity, belonging, and companionship. This meaning of koinonia accounts for the ease by which sharing and generosity flow. When combined with the spiritual implications of koinonia, fellowship provides a joint participation in God’s graces and denotes that common possession of spiritual values.
Thus early Greco-Roman Christians had a fellowship God, sharing the common experience of joys, fears, tears, and divine glory. In this manner, those who shared believed their true wealth lay not in what they had, but in what they gave to others. Fellowship is never passive in the meaning of koinonia, it is always linked to action, not just being together, but also doing together. With fellowship comes a close and intimate relationship embracing ideas, communication, and frankness, as in a true, blessed interdependent friendship among multiple group members.
The idea of community denotes a “common unity” of purpose and interests. By engaging in this united relationship a new level of consciousness and conscience emerges that spurs the group to higher order thinking and action, thus empowering and encouraging its members to exist in a mutually beneficial relationship. Thus community and family become closely intertwined, because aiming at a common unity strives to overcome brokenness, divisiveness, and, ultimately gaining wholeness with each of the members, with their environment, and with their God. By giving mutual support, friendship and family merge. Both fellowship and community imply an inner and outer unity. No where in the framework of community is their implied a hierarchy of command and control. While there is leadership, the leader’s task is to focus energy, and align interests, not impose control.
Koinonia creates a brethren bond which builds trust and, especially when combined with the values of Wisdom, Virtue and Honor, overcomes two of humanity’s deepest fears and insecurities: being betrayed and being demeaned. Whether working collectively or individually, the innovators of ancient Greece worked for the greater good of the whole – to propel their community forward, to share their understanding with others so that all ships would rise on a rising tide. Thus loftier goals and dreams are more easily manifested in the mind and achieved in reality. The team’s sense of Purpose became manifest.
