Abstract

Architecture as a man made built environment is a product of culture and human civilization. Through architecture, we can learn about the civilization that involved in creating the architectural artifacts. Therefore architecture is a civilization product can be considered as signs with meanings behind it. One of architectural object that is meaningful is the architecture of churches. Church architecture is meaningful because contained not only functional meanings but also religious meanings which had been produced for thousands years by human civilization. W.C.P Schoemaker is a Dutch architect who designed 2 great churches in Bandung – that is Catholic Church : St Peter’s Cathedral and Lutheran Church : Bethel Church – at the same decade. It is interesting that Schoemaker created these 2 churches at about the same period as a synthesis of each denomination’s needs, values and religious concepts but with so many similarities in each design elements. In this paper, the similarities of design elements that is found in both buildings will be collected. This paper also tries to find out whether the elements are the synthesis of basic Christianity or they are a personal characteristic of the architect.
