About Discussions Projects51 Journals24 Publications3

This topic explores how architects design buildings and spaces that serve liturgical and spiritual purposes. Members examine the relationship between physical form, material expression, and the experience of faith, considering how architecture can facilitate contemplation and community gathering.

The community discusses restoration of historic religious structures, contemporary chapel design, and the integration of spiritual spaces within secular contexts like forests, urban environments, and industrial sites. Projects range from minimalist reinterpretations of traditional ecclesiastical forms to adaptive conversions that repurpose existing buildings for new spiritual functions.

Beyond the tree

The project is intended as an architectural interpretation of the tree. A break out of time and moments disconnected from the urban frenzy are established through the work of three interiorities. The tree becomes a project vector, a tool for designing space, sculpting architecture, orienting the believer and sequencing the path of a new chapel.

Urban Cemetery

As the urban contexte generates a difficulty to cut oneself off from the activity, the design is based on an introverted form. The exterior appearance reflect urbanity as the interior is a sort of protected parc. Two atmosphers, two landspaces. The moment of death is treated as a « passage ». All the design tends to reveal and to mark each temporality.

Eco Chapel - Leaf

The “Leaf” expresses a renewed conception of space, an incursion of nature into a strongly urbanized territory connected in actions and thoughts to nature. The design of a chapel and a forest in an eco perspective. A green avenue around which germinate buildings, evoking the forms of seeds and giving space to contemplation, prayer, leisure and laboratory.

GIUSEPPE and Stefano

An Urban Forest

Cities need to re-born and be alive, to make the world better again. Forest in town means that other forests can grow in town and each can make the place all living creatures can find a relationship. From Tewahedo tradition of the chapel in the forest we found the inspiration and a proof that this relationship is still possible and we should never forget.

Spiritual Journey to Oneness

The building is a sacred place for people of all faiths, religion or background to connect with the Divine and their higher self (the real self, awakened aspects of oneself, assessing deeper truths and knowledge). It is designed beyond experience with a series of spaces that allows visitors to experience the process of spirituality.
