for malpaga

An important massive and strongly geometric building that creates a horizontal and vertical reference point in the area. A building where formal economy becomes the key to increasing the necessary tension between light, shapes and materials. From an urbanistic point of view, the architecture of the new church in Cavernago aims to create a new urban centre of gravity that does not cut itself out from its surroundings but blends into and adds itself to the rigorous and perhaps banal orthogonality of the urban landscape, thus placing itself on the territory as if it was trying to become immune from external space, which has grown too far from the complexity of nature and its cycles.
