©2006 LEO A DALY

Pope John Paul II Cultural Center

Washington, DC

Owner:
Pope John Paul II Cultural Foundation

For a decade, Cardinal Adam J. Maida of Detroit thought of capturing the legacy of his pontificate with a facility, similar to a U.S. Presidential Library. Pope John Paul II suggested a place "to contribute, using technology, to making the Church and her message better known and understood." The resulting facility became a scholarly study center and interactive museum dedicated to religion and modern cultural issues.

Leo A Daly was engaged at the site selection stage. Concepts were used to raise funds. We continued to design a "contemporary signature building that integrates art, architecture, state-of-the-art technology, and expresses the more traditional vocabulary found in Catholic architecture."

The power of this facility is not only in its award-winning design, but in patron reactions; their response to the interactive museum; and the ability of visitors to share their religious views and tour experience.
