A monochromatic study model of Fritz Wotruba and Fritz G. Mayr's Wotrubkirche, representing the building's characteristic cluster of interlocking rectangular concrete-block volumes at no fixed scale. The model appears to be assembled from wood blocks coated in plaster and white gesso, producing a rough, hand-worked surface that echoes the raw concrete character of the actual building. Voids between the stacked masses are clearly articulated, foregrounding the composition's sculptural form-finding logic.
