EThe t r iang le was used to compose the form of the temple . The two main t r iang les wou ld br ing the requ i red program (200 m2 + a mezzan ine area ) , wi th i t s main wings toward the north . The idea of d ispos-ing these t r iang les was to create an idea of a north s ign , to gu ide l i fe , a path , a mean ing . In the west wing of the temple we have a b ig overhang ing struc-ture that create a fee l ing of f loat ing when you are ins ide the bu i ld ing .

The proposa l here was des ign-ing an ecumenica l temple in a abandoned s i te in Cur i t iba , br ing ing rev i ta l i zat ion to the area . The cha l lenge was to take advantage of the topography of the ter ra in proper ly , en joy-ing the sun l ight and compos ing correct ly accord ing to the best poss ib le v isua l to the c i ty .

The structure that was des igned at the open ings come to address the anc ient concepts of the sta ined g lasses present in the Goth ic churches . In h istory , th is k ind of decorat ion had the power to teach and be an i l lust rat ion for what was t rue for the soc iety . Wi th that we des ign ing a st ructure that create a d i f ferent pattern ins ide the temple , f raming the v iew of the outs ide , mak ing the person to fee l in
