opening on april 24th is the new parish designed by fuksas architects.
there are two main architectural elements that are identified with
the functions of the religious center, the first element, the church
building, consists of two rectangles inserted into one another,
the second element, also rectangular shape but long and low, is home to
the sacristy, the pastoral ministry of local and casa canonica.

spirituality and meditation are joined together in a play of natural light
entering horizontally and vertically, drawing a dialogue with the sky.

'the suspension of a volume within another. seeing through concrete
heaven, from outside, to inside, to outside.' - massimiliano fuksas
