Project descripÂtion
The CenÂteÂnary of the AppariÂtions of FatiÂma and the visÂit of the Pope FranÂcisÂco on the 13th of May 2017, jusÂtiÂfied the project and the conÂstrucÂtion of the new OutÂdoor Altar in the Prayer Area of FatiÂma, a perÂmaÂnent work for outÂdoor ceremonies.
The exteÂriÂor OutÂdoor Altar includes in the lowÂer floor a SacÂristy, a Chapel of the Sacred Reserve and supÂport areas for the priests.
The project also allowed the mobilÂiÂty for the disÂabled to the old BasilÂiÂca, the improveÂment of the existÂing colonÂnades and the redesign of the stairÂcase to access all reliÂgious structures.
A fiberÂglass covÂer coatÂed on both sides was studÂied by the team project with INEÂGI. The covÂer has 600 m² of susÂpendÂed area, supÂportÂed only by a block of white conÂcrete withÂin which are all techÂniÂcal and verÂtiÂcal accesses.
The buildÂing’s archiÂtecÂture has the interÂvenÂtion of FilÂip Moroder for the Image of Christ, João Mendes Ribeiro for the liturÂgiÂcal places and FerÂnanÂda FraÂgateiro for the sculpÂture Matéria Espiritual.
The archiÂtecÂturÂal interÂvenÂtion has a grand scenoÂgraphÂic imporÂtance in a sacred place and we intendÂed it to result subÂlime and harÂmoÂnious in the vast prayÂing square.
