Italy/Turin

Santo Volto church. Mario Botto Architetto's Church connects with industrial roots. The building has a heptagonal plan surrounded by seven towers to which are connected the lower bodies of the chapels. The choice of the heptagonal plan coincides with the strong religious and symbolic meaning. Surrounded by a helical steel structure with thin sheets that recall "thorns", the chimney gleams by day and by night.
