Abstract

Since its inception, architecture has been able to influence the experience and emotion of people. However, since the second half of the Twentieth Century, the theory of architecture has enhanced these two aspects in those who cease to be conceived as users and recognize themselves as inhabitants. Religious architecture does not escape from this reality, since, together with its sacred character, several architects, among them the Japanese Tadao Ando, have focused on enhancing the experience from corporeality. Based on the above, this paper aims to analyze the way in which Tadao Ando materializes his religious spaces, prioritizing experience and emotion. For this purpose, three temples located in Japan are analyzed: the Wind Chapel, the Chapel on Water and the Church of Light.
