架构师提供的文本描述。天主教寺庙本质上是一个实现神性和人类之间沟通的地方。Gimnasio Campestre及其周围社区的礼拜堂是一座建筑，它在空间上表达了这种接触，这是由于在一个被破坏的空间上产生了一个悬浮的甲板，神圣的，人类，所以圣殿只是两个部分之间紧张的压缩空间。当被占领时，使用者理解了人的世俗和精神状态，空间获得了它的神圣特性，没有表面的小工具。圣殿是由这两部分之间的接触而产生的，它的物质理解是一种信仰的行为。

Text description provided by the architects. A Catholic temple is essentially a place to achieve communication between the Divine and the Human. The chapel for the Gimnasio Campestre and its surrounding community, is a building that spatially expresses this contact that results from producing a levitating deck, the divine, on an undermined space, the human, so that the temple is just the compressed space in tension between the two parts. When occupied the user comprehends the earthly and the spiritual condition of humans and the space acquires its sacred character without superficial gadgets. The temple is then generated by the contact between the two parts, and its physical understanding is an act of faith.

被破坏的太空容纳了所有的活动，这些活动有助于证明教会的世俗性质，并表达了天主教的基本理念，即“我们是来自另一片土地的种子”。该方案的每一个场址都向外延伸到挖掘区内，以使他们能够参与气候条件，并加强其物质性质。屋顶漂浮在空间上方，并提出了对精神的反思，因为它是学校创始人的花园和他的坟墓阿方索·莫拉莱斯·卡萨斯博士(Dr.Alfonso Morales Casas)的家。然后，寺庙改变了它所处的地理位置。

The undermined space houses all the activities that help prove the worldly character of the church and expresses the fundamental Catholic idea that "we are seed from another land." Each of the sites of the program extend outward within the excavated area to allow their participation with the weather conditions and strengthen its material nature. The roof levitates over the space and proposes a reflection on the spiritual, as it serves as home to the school founder’s garden and his tomb, the one of Dr. Alfonso Morales Casas. The temple then changes the geographical site in which it is located.

此外，天主教中的自然象征元素也存在，以加强其神圣性。水镜中的水象征洗礼，是圣殿和十字架的双重象征，坟墓永恒火焰中的火象征圣灵，三棵树上的油性种子象征着虔诚，山坡和屋顶上的蕨类植物象征耶路撒冷的手掌。庙宇天花板上的十二盏亮光让我们想起了十二位使徒。

Moreover, the natural symbolic elements in Catholicism are also present to strengthen its sacredness. Water in the water-mirror symbolizes baptism and doubles the temple and the Cross, fire in the eternal flame of the tomb symbolizes the Holy Spirit, oily seeds in the 3 trees in front of the sacristy symbolize devotion and ferns on the slopes and roofs symbolize the Jerusalem’s palms. Twelve brighter lights on the temple’s ceiling remind us of the twelve apostles.

这座建筑在技术上是用简朴的建筑资源解决的。有非常少但钝的混凝土墙，仔细定位和建造，并完成了一组七微线(神圣的数字)，振动与光，空间和寺庙的形象是定义的纹理。以同样高度的其他学校建筑，但在中央广场上有很大的存在，该建筑响应它的城市地点和它所属的总体计划，基于一个低的体积，以适应先前存在的邻居的海拔，但以一个强有力的体积。

The building is technically resolved using austere architectural resources. With a very few but blunt concrete walls, carefully located and constructed, and finished with a texture done with groups of seven micro-lines (the sacred number) that vibrate with light, spatiality and the temple’s image is defined. With the same height of the rest of the school buildings but with great presence over the Central Patio the building responds to its urban site and to the Master Plan to which it belongs, based on a low volume that adapts to the pre-existing neighbors’ elevations, but with a forceful volume.

对于学校和邻居社区来说，这座建筑成为天主教教育的一部分，因为认识到它变成了一种发现和朝圣体验，在这种体验中，第四维度-时间-成为项目的一部分，并有助于深入了解它所属的文化遗址。Gimnasio Campestre的天主教社区对其机构有很高的归属感，现在由于其物理工厂的变化而得到加强，学校的家庭被预测到未来。

For the school’s and neighbors’ community the building becomes part of a pedagogical piece of Catholicism as recognizing it turns into an experience of discovery and pilgrimage in which the fourth dimension, time, becomes part of the project and helps understand deeply the cultural site to which it belongs. The Gimnasio Campestre’s catholic community with a high sense of belonging to its institution is now reinforced by changes in its physical plant and the school’s family is projected to the future.
