Project Description
Description submitted by the project team. The Chapel of the New Fire is conceived as a space where natural light is an essential part of the architecture and the structure functions as a whole: the columns, walls, beams, and slabs remain as exposed, weighty elements, constantly repeating to create a rhythm of solids and voids that allows natural light to play its part and become the protagonist. We were commissioned to develop a project for a church with very specific needs for the congregation, in collaboration with the priests. We also presented the project to the community, and it was very well received. Many of the church's resources have come from donations from parishioners and foundations, so we also sought to work with low-maintenance materials that would age gracefully.
