The new chapel dedicated to Saint John Paul II has been designed as a cedar wooden shell, \u00a0which reveals the original Stone.<\/p>\n
Cedrela odorata, the main material, fills the space with its texture and color, as a reference to the pontiff\u00b4s love for Nature.<\/p>\n
Fifty porticos with different geometries and heights rise to 13m, the height of the chapel.\u00a0 They are made of 150x50mm pieces and placed rhythmically with a separation of 10mm on a base that raises them from the floor creating a subtle line of shadow. Four of the porticos has been machined to embed led strips, that create different light scenes inside.<\/p>\n
The pieces of wood are joined with a reinterpretation of Jupiter\u00b4s ray, designed by our carpenters. On the bottom the porticos create figures that remind to a grove where images that recreate scenes of Saint John Paul II\u00b4s life.<\/p>\n

There is a confessional at the end of the chapel, made with the same wooden section that gives a penitencial caracter to the space.<\/p>\n
