After winning the design competition for the San Giacomo Church and Parish Center in Ferrara, Italy, in 2012, we are glad to see the project finally nearing completion.
Our proposal is intended to function as a catalyst to create social and spatial linkages in the immediate surrounding area, seeking to strengthen community identity. Thanks to its lightweight organic architecture the new church acts as a ‘flowing’ structure open to the people and providing both visual and spiritual continuity with the nearby new bridge, the river and the old city of Ferrara.
