CEMETERIAL CHAPEL IN MAZZARRONE

The structure of the church is based on a system of two load-bearing walls that accentuate the longitudinal form of the building. These walls give a sense of deep enclosure while also providing the openings to let natural light in. Through a symmetrical suspension of the ceiling block from the wall on one side and the wall from the floor on the other, two cracks create a diagonal light flow through the church. Within the main walls three “C” structures define all the necessary spaces for the church: on one end the bell tower and the simulacrum recess and on the other the presbytery. The size in plan and elevation of each “C” structure reflects the function it hosts.
