GVultaggio Architects of Rome has shared with us their proposal for a ecumenical center in Southern France. Follow after the break for additional images of the model as well as a description from the designers.

The planning of the ecumenical center in the town of Arles, gives me the chance to look into the theme of the symbolism in architecture and to interpret again the link between icon and religion. In all ages, during the planning of a place of worship, people tried to create mystic spaces that were able to establish a relationship with the Divinity, but that had to be a symbol, and at the same time, a landmark in the urban context.
