St. FRANCIS OF SALES

S. FRANCESCO DI SALES
2005 Lucrezio Carbonara, Paolo Dattero and Alfredo Re from the Studio Dattero and Re
A striking futuristic octagonal structure in reinforced concrete covered with laminated wood and copper
“The octagonal plan allows, with its regularity, an original spatial distribution in the research for centrality in which the congregation is costar with the altar. (...) The 'Canadian tile', in terms of implementation, adapts well to each slope, and the end result is a sort of spatial scan in the roof created by a pattern of considerable interest. The highly distinctive element that is perceived from the outset is the roof itself that extends above the building wrapping it in so fluidly, softly, extending as a protection for the assembly gathering in the church” (Official Website of the Parish of St. Francis de Sales - www.sanfrancescodisales.it)
