Project descrip­tion

CAPELA DST (DST Chapel)
Insert­ed in Tere­sa Gonçalves Gar­den of the Dst Group, in Bra­ga, Por­tu­gal, the DST Chapel rests as a place for reflec­tion, spir­i­tu­al rest and nat­ur­al sur­round­ing contemplation.
The two vol­umes of con­crete are inter­rupt­ed by an inci­sion, a free cross­ing, sep­a­rat­ing the divine spot from the human seat, not touch­ing each other.
Inside, both plans are inhab­it­ed in a qui­et way. One by a bench for con­tem­pla­tion and the oth­er by a sus­pend­ed cross of Christ.
At night, the beam of light, flow­ing through the open­ing and by the Uglass ends, trans­forms these con­crete blocks into a light matter.
