The requested program compromises both applications typical of a chapel (central Nave, high school Chapel, confessionals, baptismal and dependencies of the pastor) as of a small parish University with offices areas and classrooms.

This way a concept is proposed for a project based on the transition in bands of a program which agglutinate uses of similar characteristics, and where the treatment of light and gravity, give atmosphere to each of them.In this way it is part of a small atrium of access, such as prior meeting zone to the liturgical act, and that acts as a filter before the nave, where is proposed a space of reflection and foster care, under a reversed sky, where the day becomes night, and dissolves as it approaches the altar to become a burst of light that stresses the word that it will enact.

The materials of the project define the “concrete” as the main instrument, both for its opaque and closure, as it´s ease of finishing.
