Abstract

The project for the Santa Genoveva Temple and Parish Center began in a contest of ideas in which bases were provided that emphasized the traditional character of the new Temple. A way of encounter began focusing the reflection not so much on the language or the architectural style, but rather on the recovery of the symbolism of sacred architecture so often present throughout history, and the intrinsic beauty of the liturgy. A union between tradition and modernity, forged in the common purpose between the Parish Priest and the Parish Council, the architects and the participation of the entire community, building a Temple focused on the expression of the Christian mystery and with a missionary and catechetical vocation, which has crystallized in a contemporary construction with the incorporation of traditional meanings.
