Diálogo entre arquitetura e arte sacra

ABSTRACT

The function of architecture is to design spaces that meet the diversity of human needs. With religious architecture, this task requires an approximation with sacred art. Only through a harmonious interlocution between these two areas is it possible to create buildings that fulfill their liturgical and contemplative functions. In this article, I describe my work experience as an architect in partnership with artist Claudio Pastro, outlining some of the main works we have done together over 34 years - including chapels, convents, monasteries, and churches - and discussing our process of joint creation of these spaces.
