架构师提供的文本描述。在这个项目中，必须设计和建造一座可容纳400人的教堂，其中包括一个小礼拜堂，每天可容纳100人使用。教区中心还包括办公室、多用途房间、教学教室、两所牧师住宅和一间客房。

Text description provided by the architects. For this project, a church-building had to be designed and built for 400 people, including a chapel which would cater for about 100 people to use it on a daily basis. A parish center also included offices, multipurpose rooms, classrooms for catechesis, two houses for priests and a guest room.

一项城市规划研究将这座建筑安置在一个被八层楼高的建筑包围的空间的中心，这是一种很难处理的、有些平淡的情况。此外，该网站蔓延到其两个侧面的两个广场。当我们设计这座建筑时，我们意识到这两个方格之间的关系以及它们如何相互连接，将成为整个综合体的枢纽点。

An urban planning study placed the building in the center of a space which was surrounded by buildings as high as eight storeys: A difficult and somewhat bland situation to deal with. In addition, the site spilled out onto 2 squares on 2 of its sides. When we designed the building, we realised that the relationship between these 2 squares and how they interconnect, would become the pivot point for the complex as a whole.

教堂垂直于邻里的主要街道。我们把它放置好，这样它就能与现有的一排排建筑的顺序保持一致，让它跟其他的一样。这有助于建筑物占据其在附近的位置，无缝和谨慎。一个大的中庭作为一个入口大厅，连接前面提到的两个广场，为那些简单地通过它的人创造一个城市场景，同时，它也是聚集者进入寺庙之前的一个聚会和集合点。中庭还将教堂与教区中心连接起来，教区中心包括顶层牧师的公寓。一个凸起的庭院，运行的全部长度的正面允许照明，而不干扰其他人的隐私。

The church stands perpendicular to the neighborhood´s main street. We positioned it so that it would conform to the sequence of the existing row of buildings, by having it follow the same line as the others. This helps the building occupy its place in the neighbourhood, seamlessly and with discretion. A large atrium acts as an exterior entrance hall, linking the 2 squares previously mentioned and creating an urban scenario for those people who simply pass through it, while at the same time, it serves as a meeting and gathering point for congregants just before they enter the temple. The atrium also connects the church to the parish centre, which contains the apartments for the priests on the top floor. A raised patio that runs the full length of the facade allows for illumination without disturbing the privacy of others.

这三位一体的主要部分(中庭，寺庙和教区中心)结合在一个统一的外观，就像一个教堂堡垒，保护一切在她的内部和周围，但也作为一个中立的背景建筑环境。

This trinity of its main parts (the atrium, temple and parish center) combine under a unified appearance, like that of a church-fortress that protects all that is within and around her, but also serves as a neutral backdrop to the built environment.
