Descrizione del progetto
It is located in a very consolidated urban area with high traffic in the south of the city of Paraná.
Initially the place was an undeveloped and unpopulated area, where a small temple was built, with a gable roof and a side tower.
Then the city grew and so did its immediate construction demand. The initial temple was too small for the demand it had to satisfy, and they built a larger building next door to fulfilled that purpose. Later, a parish hall, classrooms and other facilities were built. Due to such growth, the initial small temple began to house toilets for the entire complex, degrading its symbolism and history.
As a result, the implementation and form of the San Peregrino Oratory seeks to reclaim and revalue the symbolism and the original meaning, for which it is located in the atrium of the first temple.
The shape of the oratory is an extension towards the front of the shape of the original temple, which seeks to symbolize the growth and presence of the religious community in the neighborhood. The two-sloped roof is transformed into a single one, in order to increase the scale, prioritizing the new access and giving it a more contemporary image.
The original tower is recovered and its height is raised, which seeks to allude to the spiritual growth of the community. Inside the oratory, this tower opens to it through diagonal lintels, to increase the space of use and integrate the two spatial volumes.
The interior space tries to be a pause within the convulsive rhythm of movements of the environment and daily life, for which we sought to recreate an atmosphere of calm and peace. A stripped-down area, where light is the main protagonist and attendees find relaxation. It is resolved with a shell that completely surrounds this space and leaves only a zenithal slit for the entry of natural light, strategically positioned above the cross and symbolizing spiritual illumination.
In addition to the light, rain also enters through this aforementioned opening, thought of as inclement weather, which is always present on the pilgrim’s path and in which the spiritual space of the oratory provides support.
The materials tries to go in accordance with this symbolism of protection, through a simple concrete and a stone floor. In contrast to this, the tower is simply in white.
