Communio

Archicura participates in the contest for the liturgical adjustment and the design of the sacred space of the Cathedral of S. Maria del Bosco in Cuneo with a multidisciplinary team composed by architects, historians, young artists and liturgists.
The contest has been published by the Diocesi di Cuneo in agreement with the Parish and the Chapter of the S. Maria del Bosco Cathedral, in collaboration with the Ufficio Beni Culturali Ecclesiastici ed Edilizia per il Culto diocesano.
The biggest complication has been the approach to the many historical pre-existing layers. The plan of the Cathedral is circular, with a central dome. Therefore, we proposed to move the Sacred Space, or Communio, (today collocated in the presbytery) to the center of the dome projection. This choice is justified by the the original form of the church. Consequently, the assembly of believers is set around the altar. This solution realizes the idea of the active participation of the believers to a shared identity.
