Abstract


The main charm of this church depends on the right choice of the platform shape and of the extreme lightness of its thin shell roof, which is a hyperbolic paraboloid of slight curvature; its minimum thickness being 4 cm and its maximum thickness varies between 10 and 18 cm. Its general shape is reminiscent of a bird wing of smooth contours. The outstanding site and its beautiful colour harmony with the surrounding landscape increase the natural and spontaneous charm of this building.
