«The illumination of the churches is effected by way of circular and linear skylights. The construction of the buildings is uniform: concrete carrying elements, of two-ply construction, 35cm thick and 150cm wide, whose interior and exterior faces are of marble chips, mixed with white cement. A limited competition among specially invited artists was held for the design of the liturgical components. Angel Duarte designed the crosses for the exterior and the crosses for the Catholic church; the appointments for the altar were designed by Gianfredo Camesi for the Catholic church, and by Rolf Iseli for the Protestant church. Rudolf Blättker was entrusted with the colour scheme for the Catholic church.»
