Descri­zio­ne del progetto

An Open Door.
The pro­ject of Divi­no Sal­va­dor church was born from the stu­dy of the litur­gi­cal Chri­stian spa­ce evo­lu­tion and from an atten­ti­ve look and com­pre­hen­sion of the com­plex mor­pho­lo­gy of the inter­ven­tion site.
A base built by gra­ni­te walls extends from the sur­roun­dings, sustai­ning the tem­ple. A new distri­bu­tion chur­chyard sepa­ra­tes, both func­tio­nal­ly and volu­me­tri­cal­ly, the new church from the mul­ti­pur­po­se buil­ding, like an exte­rior ante­cham­ber which invi­tes users to silen­ce and self-com­­mu­­nion. At the chur­chyard stands out the sky, the sound of the oli­ve tree lea­ves swept by the wind and the run­ning water of a fountain.
A glass door appears as a meta­phor for an open and tole­rant Chri­stian com­mu­ni­ty, invi­ting anyo­ne who enters the chur­chyard to be part of one big sha­ring family.
Insi­de, the pre­sby­te­ry and the nave rise towards God by the lar­ge ver­ti­cal cle­re­sto­ry which dra­ws the resur­rec­tion of Chri­st throu­gh its gla­zed and lumi­nous walls. The cle­re­sto­ry is also the cal­ling ele­ment of the church, as it sub­sti­tu­tes the tra­di­tio­nal stee­ples. In the new church, the cal­ling is done by the light instead of the sound.
The two side aisles end up on two ver­ti­cal cha­pels that hold the taber­na­cle and the bap­ti­ste­ry. Both cha­pels repre­sent the uni­que­ness rela­tion bet­ween the sacra­men­ts and God.
The Mor­tua­ry Cha­pel, loca­ted on the north side of the buil­ding, has its entran­ce by the yard of the old Mother Church of São Sal­va­dor, con­fer­ring uni­ty to the old street pro­fi­le and assu­ring a con­ti­nuous use of the old buil­ding for mourn­ful celebrations.
