A church must have the face and the heart of the land and of the people where it is built. To project the spaces for worship, it is important to know the lives of people, to share their visions and true aspirations and to learn the language of their hearts, also through the observation of nature. The experience in Africa has suggested the removal of any preconception to welcome the novelty of a virgin world, capable of inspiring in its simplicity, the most essential forms and true, without artifice and reminiscences of other worlds.
