Liturgical concerns in the design of current religious architecture

Abstract

Over the last ten years, the T-113 Architecture Workshop in Barcelona has developed different interventions in celebratory spaces applying the liturgical innovation proposed by the Vatican Council II in dialogue with the space, the users and the project program. This professional practice has led to constant tension and learning that are intended to be communicated through the presentation of various projects carried out grouped into three sections. The first section deals with interventions that combine liturgical use with other pastoral activities; the second deals with the care in the design of the arhketopos, or foundational places of religious orders; the third is about the implementation of environmental and visual comfort facilities in reforms of sacred spaces linked to liturgical activity.
