Abstract

Brazil is the eighth largest economy in the world and one of the ten most unequal countries. In the twentieth century the demographic explosion coupled with the rural exodus generated a great demand for new churches. Using the industrial architecture as the basis for these buildings was the only viable solution. Now, in the 21st century, the analysis and reformulation of these spaces becomes necessary.
