T h e C r o s s , Ι Χ Θ Υ Σ ( I c h t i s ) a n d t r i n i t y, t h r e e of the most iconic Christian symbols, they're hinges and focal point. The main idea is to generate a space that can welcome the community of religious believers, using local materials with new construction techniques. Three curved brick wall make a dynamic space in continuous change and they represent ecclesiastical symbols through space. So the two internal walls symbolize a sort of Christian hug to the believers, the light coming from the apse remembers the God Light and the water represents the bapstism. The dialogue between interior and exterior is made possible by seven big windows that look out to the external green space, developed following the shape of the Church.

The Cross, ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichtis) and trinity, three of the most iconic Christian symbols, they're hinges and focal point. The main idea is to generate a space that can welcome the community of religious believers, using local materials with new construction techniques.
