THE ORDER
In Nobili, the six panes were afforded space to create a horizontal landscape across the back wall—like we’ve re-created here on the page. In the Jesuit Residence Oratory, the order has been shuffled a bit to fit the space.
The new layout elicits a different effect—these panes with the sun create a spark of color rather than a cascade of light. “It has a tremendous depth of intensity,” says James Blaettler, S.J., minister of the Jesuit community.
