// National Competition
Project launched for a national competition, in which we made it to the final presentation.
The premise of this project was to embrace the future as a place for worship and socialization, enriching the area around the sanctuary and offering a nice place for those who pass through there.
The project has a fully underground concept, that takes us to the ancient cave, a gift from Mother Nature.
The placement of four interior volumes leads us to the tomb of “Beata Alexandrina”, never forgetting the long and rich tradition and memory of centuries of religious architecture, and never cutting the link to the past.
ARBA - Hebrew term meaning "four”
Relationship of the term "ARBA" and our project:
Four Volumes - Building
Four intentions - Education, Purification, and Divine Worship (The four interior volumes)
Four exterior walls
Work team: Fabio Guimaraes; Guilherme Santos; Ricardo Monteiro
