架构师提供的文本描述。如何在不陷入字面上的回忆的情况下，建造一个礼拜堂来纪念一个圣人？

Text description provided by the architects. How to build a chapel in honor of a saint without falling into literal reminiscences?

这是为第一位阿根廷圣徒设计礼拜堂的起点和最大的挑战。最合乎逻辑的解决办法是，“用布罗奇精神进行设计，遵循的价值观和牧师的意图，但不要在形态上重复”。

This was the starting point and the biggest challenge of designing a chapel for the first Argentine saint. The most logical solution was, “designing with Brocherian spirit, folowing the values and the intentions of the priest but without falling in morphologic repetitions”.

首先，也是最重要的是，布劳切罗神父因为他的社会地位而为人所知，他用脚踩在地上，眼睛在天堂里，教堂从地球上以菱形的形状出现，当它上升时，每个部分都经历一个蜕变的过程，直到它以指向天空的顶点结束。另外，“高丘牧师”也曾用粘土、稻草和木材等当地技术建造。这种材料被当时的材料所取代：混凝土、钢和铝。最后，圣布罗切罗总是依靠他的“羊群”的能力，不管教堂要求建筑的复杂程度，整个工人团队都是当地人。

First and foremost Father Brochero who was well know because of his social promotion, worked with his feet on the ground and his eyes in the heaven, the chapel emerges from the earth with a rhomboidal shape, while raising it transforms, each section undergoes a metamorphosis process until it ends in a vertex that points to the sky. Also the “Gaucho priest” used to built with local techniques such as clay, straw and wood. This materials are replaced with contemporaneous ones: concrete, steel and aluminum. Finally Saint Brochero always relied on the capacities of his “sheep herd”, regardless of the building complexity that the chapel demanded, the entirely team of workers were local people.

在宗教类型学中，意义和象征在理解神圣空间中起着原始的作用。这个礼拜堂是献给第一位阿根廷圣徒的，一个非常特别的人，要求非常特别的设计。建筑的外部和内部都体现了一种现代语言，能够与现代人交流，但在传统上有着深厚的根基。混凝土的“可塑性”使得它成为捕捉教堂重要形态的理想材料。结构、功能和空间由8厘米厚的双曲抛物面统一。小礼拜堂的内部空间是用简朴而严密的材料完成的，存在于任何当地家庭：砖块、木头和石头。

In a religious typology the significant and the symbolic have a primordial role in the understanding of the sacred space. This chapel dedicated to the first Argentine saint , a very special person, demanded very special desing. The exterior and interior of the building evidenced a modern language capable of communicating with modern man but with strong roots in tradition.The “plasticity” of Concrete makes it the ideal material to capture the significant morphology of the chapel. Structure, function and space are unify by the two hyperbolic paraboloids of 8 centimeters thickness. The interior space of the chapel is completed with austere and close character materials, psent in any local home: bricks, wood and stone.

最后但并非最不重要的是，对光的感知与上帝恩典的体验有着很强的联系，上帝在我们的眼中是看不见的，然而他的行动和恩典却填满了我们的生活。小礼拜堂的“光源”是肉眼无法接触到的，然而，当神圣的空间向我们显现的时候，清澈的光芒无处不在。

Last but not least, the perception of light has a strong connection with the experience of God’s grace.God is invisible to our eyes, yet his action and grace fill up our lives. The “source” of light of the chapel is inaccessible to the eye, however the clarity floods everywhere while the sacred space is revealed to us.
