2466. Westminster Abbey Church. Mission, B.C., Canada





















Dear Anthony,

Westminster Abbey, a landmark in Canadian 
ecclesiastical architecture, demonstrates 
Åsbjørn Gathe's originality. He wanted to 
"express something of a Benedictine antiquity, 
combined with contemporary advances in 
structure and design."
Each arm of the Greek-cross floor plan of 
the church is reserved for one of the elements: 
blue is equated with water, red with fire, 
brown with earth, and grey with air.  

Best regards,
R
