Text description provided by the architects:

“In the context of France and China established diplomatic relations,a Sino French agricultural science and technology park will be built in Chengdu.It concentrates southern way of life，restores the southern art scene，creates a foreign cultural experience. Think of southern France, you will think of Provence, a purple lavender field, the light of Impressionism illuminates the history of art from here. Impressionism is regarded as a period of Renaissance, The breakthrough of traditional realism is characterized by freehand brushwork. Starting from Langxiang Church, the usual pattern of Catholic churches was also broken, Implicit spirit in a peculiar distorted form. It is a ideographic architecture. It has a great influence on the development of modern architecture in the West.

With an inner understanding of the French spirit, with a deep understanding of French architectural art, how can we build this church? It does not stick to the traditional form to express the freedom, romance and diversity inherent spirit of this land. Break through traditional patterns, break through traditional materials, break through traditional structures, and break through traditional ways of construction, Pure white and the free interlacing of light and shadow.“
