Abstract


This church design is based on the idea of enclosed and concentrated thought. Its light source is zenithal, from skylights at the top of the structure. It is shaped like a sailing boat, without comers or sharp edges, and seeks to enclose a smoothly contoured space, as most suitable to establish a mental encounter with the Almighty. The whole project is in concrete; the formwork being of exceptional quality. Both its formal concept emd its external and internal aspects make this a notable design, that is outstanding in modem religious architecture.
