Abstract
[Resumen] Las superfi cies sinuosas de la iglesia de San Paolo ofrecen una doble cara. Hacia
el interior, responden a la articulación de la acción litúrgica; hacia el exterior, se
insertan en la trama verde del paisaje periurbano, en el límite entre la ciudad y el
contexto rural. Espacio litúrgico y ambiente externo establecen, por tanto, una
fuerte relación dinámica: una correspondencia física (de reciprocidad volumétrica
entre las paredes cóncavas y convexas), pero sobre todo, una correspondencia visual
y lumínica, gracias a las vidrieras polícromas que permiten una dialéctica siempre
diversa entre los volúmenes marmóreos de los polos litúrgicos, las superfi cies blancas
que los acogen y la luz coloreada que los ilumina.
[Abstract] Th e sinuous surfaces of the church of San Paolo off er a double-sided. Inland, respond to the articulation of the liturgical action, outwards are inserted into the weft green suburban landscape, at the boundary between the city and the rural context. Liturgical space and external environment provide therefore a strong dynamic relationship: a physical map (volumetric reciprocity between the concave and convex walls), but above all a visual and lightly correspondence, due to the polychrome glass windows that allow a dialectic always diff erent between the marble volumes of liturgical poles, white surfaces that host and colored lights that bathes them.
