PROPOSAL OF ANNEXES TO THE BAPTIST CHURCH OF CAPUNGA
Type
Proposal of Annexes to the Baptist Church of Capunga
Year of project: 2006
Prizes: 1st PLACE on the "YOUNG ARCHITECT PRIZE 2007" (Prêmio Jovens Arquitetos 2007) promoted by IAB-SP (Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil, São Paulo Department)
The project of reform on the building complex of the Baptist Church of Capunga emerged from the need faced by the Church for years: the demand for an expansion on its physical structure, especially concerning the area destined to Biblical Sunday School (BSS), with almost 900 students at the moment.
The temple with an Eclectic style, of the decade of the 50s, is the main building of this complex; in addition to this scenery is one of the buildings bought by the Church around the temple: a two-floor Eclectic house, built before the temple, which is one of the few remaining of the Eclectic residential architecture of the town (annexe A). Split in two phases, the proposal aims to build a new edification for the Biblical Sunday School and, later, new annexed blocks which will hold the other church activities. The challenge of this project was to affirm contemporary to architecture of a new complex without, however, rivaling against historical buildings.
The new Religious Education Building will be implanted in an area behind the temple, where at the moment there is a sports court. This solution will allow that the first phase of the project be developed without interfering Church activities. After the conclusion of the new edification, the BSS will be completely transferred and then demolitions e remodeling on the existing buildings will be executed, according to the architectonic project. The almost 3500m² destined to classrooms - which will hold 9 departments, from kindergarten to third age - have determined the vertical line of this block, and the challenge consisted on implanting in such a way to affirm its contemporary and its presence in the urban scenery, adding value and renovating the meaning of the temple without, however, interfering the domain it exerts on the landscape.
The new volume serves as a neutral background and has the shape of a rectangular based prism, with height similar to the Church tower; referring to the geometry of the temple and symbolizes reverence, devotion, and rationality demanded for the study of the Bible. This volume will not interfere on the temple scale or the line, being almost unperceivable, at the pedestrian point of view.
The second phase of the project consisted on demolishing the annexes B and C and the present Religious Education Building. Two blocks, ground and first floors, tangent to the back face of the Church, generated an only surface, in U, that opens to receive the new BSS building, smoothly salient to the complex. All of these edifications define the courtyard, distributing/congregating area, from any element that interferes in its flexibility; a great stage for evening events carried on by the Church, like weddings, graduations, birthday parties, choir presentations at open air, and youth meetings.
The limit of intervention is clearly marked by a transversal plan, at the height of the temple cornice, which also works as a discrete background to the eclectic large house. Trans-lucid surfaces in shutter form mark the access to the new area, referring to the old Education Building and making the temple visually salient to other buildings. A big longitudinal axle goes through the entire complex, connecting areas, inviting the visitor to cover them, and be part of the community.
The parking lot, previously located at the side areas of the temple, visually polluting its image, was transferred to a semi-buried floor, underneath the new BSS block. This relocation will provide that a reasonable part of people flow be concentrated on the courtyard, since it is necessary to cross it to reach the temple and other areas. Gardens will occupy the old parking lot, relieving the climatic hardship, and making the buildings lighter and integrating the project to the Parque Amorim Square.
The choice of materials aimed to differentiate the new edifications from the old ones. All the structural system of the project is made in pillars or structural walls of apparent reinforced concrete emphasizing the purity and sobriety of activities taken place in there. The Religious Education Building received a differentiated treatment: all the perimeter of its 8 (eight) floors - ending in metallic running miter and glass, bringing the maximum of lighting and ventilation to the classrooms - received a layer made of metallic net in stainless threads. This solution, besides having the function of filtering the sunlight, also lends the building a trans-lucid and homogeneous appearance, where the movement in its interior is only insinuated. From each floor it is even possible to see the Church tower through the metallic net, this is a referential point for all the Education Building: the study of the Bible and the service must walk together, are interdependent.
