Church St. Mother Maria of Young | Camerana&Partners

Transforming an industrial space into a place of mystical prayer, in turn transformed into a hall for meetings and debates.Design, in the former mill, a church that can become, if necessary, a conference room.The decision to work with the natural light that veiled from above for the "tool" church; that cold coming in through windows to the "function" conference room.The use of a thin perforated metal foil, to realize a soft surface of the false ceiling, open in three points, to form a symbolic triangle: a dome which focuses the light on the altar, and two shaped wells of light for diffuse lighting .

In the "church" configuration, when dimming with automated curtains the windows, the light enters, only, from three wells of light, this thin sheet, for an optical phenomenon, is transformed into a continuous surface, which conceals the ceiling.In the "Configuration Assembly", the blackout curtains are open and reappear, industrial structures in the full brightness of the room.
