Descri­zio­ne del progetto

The pro­ject is loca­ted on a farm near the city of Moco­ca, 250km from the city of São Pau­lo in Bra­zil. We were asked to reno­va­te a cha­pel that had been unu­sed for a whi­le and the­re­fo­re nee­ded to be reac­ti­va­ted for the reli­gious rituals of resi­den­ts and wor­kers in the region.

Loca­ted on a pla­teau in the very cen­ter of the ter­ri­to­ry, the volu­me of pre-exi­­ste­n­­ce that stands out in the land­sca­pe is cros­sed by a sin­gle main door and a few windows.

Star­ting from the most varied paths that give access to the church, in the inter­ven­tion, when we demo­li­shed the tran­sep­ts and tran­sfor­med them into lar­ge win­­dow-doors, the cha­pel beco­mes part of the cros­sings paths and pre­sen­ts itself as a pla­ce of encoun­ter in the land­sca­pe, that is, a reli­gious space .
