The message developed by the Synod of the Catholic Bishops (2012) exposes the keys of the new
evangelization, that illuminate the answers of the architecture to the challenges that it lays out. In the same year, there is inaugurated in Helsinki the Chapel of Silence, that offers a place of spiritual meditation, opened to all the people. In an environment very popular —Narinkka squa- re— his showy form wakes curiosity up. A community that receives in the lobby, it drives to discover a serene interior that he invi- tes you to the contemplation and to the silence. The provoked response, it contributes to the analysis of his architectural qualities, near to the aims of the new evangelization.
