Design firm G&A and Iconem develop a digital platform for experiencing Calatrava’s St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church

Santiago Calatrava’s St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church yielded a domed marble edifice within the dense fabric of Lower Manhattan. The original church was destroyed in the September 11th attacks and this new design posits a modern take on liturgical legacy. A highly realistic and detailed model from design firm G&A and digitalization studio Iconem affords visitors and worshippers with the experience of being inside the ecclesiastical space without actually stepping foot inside. The model grants a closer look at the biblical and contemporary scenes adorning the ceilings and the opportunity to light a remembrance candle.
