PARISH CHURCH RIOLA
Alvar Aalto
Riola of Vergato, Italy. 1978
The Parish Center Riola di Vergato is a synthesis of the Aalto's reasons in the field of religious architecture. The objective was to provide a ratio between the altar, the choir and organ, and the Baptistery.. The asymmetrical dome conveys the light within the ship and spreads only through vertical ribs, asymmetric, create a network of majestic soft light that is projected onto the altar. From the opposite side through a door flowing, entrance wall can be completely open to pedestrian plaza, so it comes to be a greater amplification of liturgical space.
