SANTI APOSTOLI WEEKDAY CHAPEL

About This Project

The project deals with the theme of sacred architecture, through the arrangement of a small ecclesistical space. The sacred elements define the angular space where the presbytery is, structuring the composition starting from the altar. The altar and the ambo volumes are created by essential geometry and shaped by organic grooves that soften the formal rigor. The seat of the Officiant occupies the corner behind the altar, and his role is emphasized by the vertical panel that marks the edge between the walls. The special arrangement of benches, right-angled perpendicularly, put the believers in a diagonal position respect to the altar and side positioned compared to the other believers, so to convey a message of mutual sharing and greater participation in the liturgy, emphasized by the limited space and by the proximity of the benches to the chancel.
