Ordinary and Extraodinary, The experience of Parrish Complex in Dresano

The description of the design experience of the Parish Complex in Dresano, through the composition of pure geometries and evocative materials that engage in dialogue with the surrounding community and its spirituality, becomes an opportunity to reflect on the nature of liturgical space. Sacredness is an ancient theme in architecture, yet it remains profoundly relevant in contemporary practice. It demands the conception of a space that, while fulfilling ordinary functions tied to earthly rituals, evokes the extraordinary nature of its existence. Sacred architecture thus represents an ambivalent and symbolic field of design, where composition and liturgical experience intertwine to create places of encounter between space and the sacred.
