Church St. Mother Maria of Young
Church St. Mother Maria of Young | From industrial space as a place of prayer.
Transforming an industrial space into a place of mystical prayer, in turn transformed into a hall for meetings and debates.
Design, in the former mill, a church that can become, if necessary, a conference room.
The decision to work with the natural light that veiled from above for the "tool" church; that cold coming in through windows to the "function" conference room.
The use of a thin perforated metal foil, to realize a soft surface of the false ceiling, open in three points, to form a symbolic triangle: a dome which focuses the light on the altar, and two shaped wells of light for diffuse lighting.
In the "church" configuration, when dimming with automated curtains the windows, the light enters, only, from three wells of light, this thin sheet, for an optical phenomenon, is transformed into a continuous surface, which conceals the ceiling.
In the "Configuration Assembly", the blackout curtains are open and reappear, industrial structures in the full brightness of the room.
