r/brick_expressionism

Johan Otto von Spreckelsen is better known for La Grande Arche de la Défense (the 'new' triumphal arc) in Paris, but before that was realized he built amongst other works 4 churches in his homeland, Denmark. I've posted this catholic church of his earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/nowaythatsachurch/comments/1vc5a8n/saint_nikolaj_church_catholic_esbjerg_denmark/

I really like the simple red brick design combined with the many different shapes and angles there is in this design. It's an example of brick brutalism widely found in Scandinavia. The design reminds me quite a bit of Islev Church by Inger & Johannes Exner, also in red brick only and built in the same decade: https://www.reddit.com/r/nowaythatsachurch/comments/1vdnpgw/islev_church_r%C3%B8dovre_denmark_built_in_1970/
