The church was described by Joseph Rykwert who published it in Domus as a design which "exemplified an architecture that expressed itself with an eloquence which moves the spectator by the clarity of a formal statement and through the shock of recognition, a shock which ocurred 'when he has read an order in the building through which he has walked and he has recognised this order as the plan of his being." [Strauven, F., 'Aldo Van Eyck the Shape of Relativity', Architectura & Natura, 1998]
