Church at Worth Abbey Heatherwick Studio
Designed to be built over time, Francis Pollen’s church at Worth Abbey was erected between 1964 and 1974 but ultimately completed in 2011 by Thomas Heatherwick and a team that included DPA Lighting Design. Driven by programmable controls, the flexible lighting system allows the monks to create atmospheric scenes that illuminate the lantern and ceiling singly or in tandem, highlight the altar with an overhead pendant and perimeter spots, and use light and shadow for function or meditative effects.
