Project descrip­tion

Pre­vi­ous records.
Bra­cana always want­ed a church of its own. The peo­ple of this ham­let of Íllo­ra (Grana­da), were always spir­i­tu­al­ly served in tem­ples out­side the set­tle­ment. The peo­ple built a sim­ple church with few resources in the six­ties, but end­ed up hav­ing sta­bil­i­ty prob­lems. Since then the bra­caneros and bra­caneras express their desire to have their own parish, wor­thy of the vil­lage, rep­re­sen­ta­tive of its reli­gios­i­ty, sim­ple and hum­ble nature.

The premise.
To build a parish where the pre­vi­ous one used to be, fol­low­ing the same prin­ci­ples: econ­o­my of means, and with the right size to house the 31 banks that the town has in use in the Chapel of the Counts.

The pro­pos­al.
The church is con­ceived as a sin­gle space cov­ered with two sides that is cut and stretched in sev­er­al sec­tions, qual­i­fy­ing the space towards the head and allow­ing light to enter.
A sim­ple gabled steel por­ti­co, with its vari­a­tions and sequenc­ing, resolves the pro­gram, sub­stan­ti­at­ing the spa­tial mod­el­ing and its plas­tic quality.
A sin­gle con­struc­tive ele­ment capa­ble of being struc­ture and enve­lope, walls and ceil­ing, exte­ri­or and inte­ri­or fin­ish­ings. Each mate­r­i­al, with an insep­a­ra­ble func­tion from the con­struc­tion process, is hon­est and sincere.
Each mate­r­i­al is to the con­struc­tive solu­tion itself what the parish­ioner is to the parish.
