Descri­zio­ne del progetto

In a pla­teau area, sur­roun­ded by a rural envi­ron­ment, with an extraor­di­na­ry pano­ra­mic view, this is the Cha­pel of the Por­tu­gue­se Natio­nal Scout´s Acti­vi­ties Camp.
Thought out for Scou­ts, as a very sim­ple form, in a rein­ter­pre­ta­tion of a clas­si­cal tent, was the own scou­ting ideo­lo­gy that ser­ved as a con­cep­tual inspi­ra­tion for the pro­ject. A sober and sim­ple life­sty­le, allied with strong faith and com­mit­ment, dic­ta­ted the base lines for this tem­ple, depu­ra­ted, veri­ta­ble and yet transcendent.
A sim­ple and sacred tent for all, the pla­ce for phy­sic and divi­ne shel­ter, to live and com­me­mo­ra­te faith within the great crea­tion, natu­re, that was embra­ced by the pro­ject as an inse­pa­ra­ble piece.
The essen­ce of the pro­ject pre­sen­ts litur­gi­cal ele­men­ts that found Chri­stian expe­rien­ce and prac­ti­ce. The entran­ce of the tem­ple is mar­ked by a foun­tain, a point of water that is born in the begin­ning of the struc­tu­re, in a clear allu­sion to the entran­ce in Catho­lic life. The water sta­bli­shes a cour­se that cros­ses all the inte­rior spa­ce, and deve­lops to the Altar, in men­tion to Chri­stian life, and gui­des the user to the holy cross stan­ding outsi­de, in the land­sca­pe, and thus to natu­re itself, con­tem­pla­ting some­thing supe­rior, divine.
Mate­rials were elec­ted by their cha­rac­te­ri­stics of resi­stan­ce, dura­bi­li­ty and com­fort, but also by their inte­gra­tion with the natu­ral envi­ron­ment and the pro­ject con­cept. The wood and zinc struc­tu­re give the tem­ple a pro­tec­ti­ve exte­rior aspect and crea­te a cozy interior.
The water foun­tain and cour­se, and the Altar are made in natu­ral sto­ne, a tra­di­tio­nal and noble mate­rial, selec­ted for its strength and robust­ness per­cep­tion, inten­tio­nal­ly con­nec­ted to the­se litur­gi­cal elements.
The remai­ning ele­men­ts are made of wood, an equal­ly tra­di­tio­nal and noble mate­rial, with com­fort characteristics.
The arti­fi­cial lighting is desi­gned to highlight the expres­si­ve­ness of all the inte­rior and exte­rior spa­ce, highlight´s and fra­mes the buil­ding with the sur­roun­ding natu­re and stars abo­ve, enri­ching the dimen­sions of the archi­tec­tu­re, and giving it an ethe­real dimension.
