CATHEDRAL OF THE SACRED HEART OF JESÚS

The cathedral will be located inside the Central Park project Xochipilli.

Faith is not exempt of reasoning and the construction that is respectfully introduced, aims to congrégate harmonically diverse groups of people with the same belief being priority, the perception and individual and integral sensitivity of everyone.

On its architectural development the main events in the life of Jesus of Nazareth were observed, including the principal focus to his transfiguration to divinity and the sacred heart of Jesus. We integrate materials that seek the seriousness and austerity, but in turn represent the majesty and divinity of the site. From endless lines the flash of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and his infinite faith from Earth to heaven are represented.

At the same time, seeks to be defined in front of the society as a whole that provides shelter on its solidity, before the attainable faith by the protector.

The project consists of a main building solved from 10 structural areas which delimit interior spaces, and the same floor is repeated at a lower level as a basement, having direct communication between areas.

Symbolizing in the architectural functionality the nobility and authenticity of the church. Making that people to delve into the spiritual reflective momentum. The Cross symbolizes the Calvary, retaking the profile of Jesus of Nazareth sacrifice for the people; the inside with glass blocks will flash symbolizing the resurrection of Jesus.
