Abstract

The function of architecture is to design spaces that meet the diversity of human needs. With religious architecture, this task requires an approximation with sacred art. Only through a harmonious interlocution between these two areas is it possible to create buildings that fulfill their liturgical and contemplative functions. In this article, I describe my work experience as an architect in partnership with artist Claudio Pastro, outlining some of the main works we have done together over 34 years – including chapels, convents, monasteries, and churches – and discussing our process of joint creation of these spaces.
