The Ancient Church of Vilanova de la Barca (Lleida, Spain) is a 13th century Gothic building that was partially demolished in 1936 as a result of the bombings during the Spanish Civil War. Since then, the church had been in a general state of ruin, preserving just its apse, some fragments of the naves and the west façade. The main aim of the project was to recover the rests of the ancient church and to restore its original appearance while transforming the old structure in a new multi-purpose hall. The project aims to establish an architectural dialogue between the old parts and the new elements, between the past and the present.
原教堂被規(guī)劃為巴西利卡式，兩個(gè)中庭，一個(gè)長(zhǎng)廊以及側(cè)面的小型禮拜堂。建筑全長(zhǎng)22米，寬7米，內(nèi)部的空間提升到10米。在東面的部分，遺存下來(lái)的建筑包含兩個(gè)古羅馬式石墩，其余部分都不幸遭遇自然侵蝕。一座建造在原墓地遺址處的獨(dú)院住宅影響了教堂的整體氛圍。
The original church has a basilica-styled floor plan with two naves, a presbytery and lateral chapels. The building is 22 meters long and 7 meters wide, with an interior space rising up to 10 meters. In the oriental part, the surviving construction preserved two impressive lateral buttresses, probably of a Romanesque origin, and a ribbed vault of the 17th century in a late Gothic style in the apse. The entire church was built with a stone ashlar of the area which was largely damaged by the weather conditions and the erosion of time. More recently, the church has been severely affected by the construction of an attached single family house in the former graveyard.
項(xiàng)目的主要工作是對(duì)建筑立面和房頂?shù)男迯?fù)。新的修復(fù)方案將立面改造成網(wǎng)格狀磚墻和阿拉伯式瓦片屋頂。整個(gè)項(xiàng)目構(gòu)思被看做是一個(gè)新的建筑陶瓷外殼輕輕支撐在古建筑墻壁的遺跡上。
The most important part of the project has focused on the covering elements: the façade and the roof. The project establishes a new brick façade based on a latticework texture and a new gabled.
Arab tile roof. The entire system is conceived as a new architectural ceramic shell that is gently supported over the remains of the ancient walls.
外立面不設(shè)窗戶，建筑背面的褶皺，不規(guī)則以及來(lái)自教堂遺跡的拙石質(zhì)感，打造整體視覺(jué)效果的延續(xù)性。
The outer façade rises hermetic and opaque, with no windows, as a textured background that reproduces the wrinkled, dense and irregular texture of the stone ashlars of the ancient church, advocating for a visual continuity and integration with the original fabric.
另一方面，內(nèi)部的白色打孔墻設(shè)計(jì)使新舊建筑之間產(chǎn)生不連貫性。從外面看，教堂的歷史感回歸，從內(nèi)部看，令人精神放松的氛圍也得到恢復(fù)。
On the other hand, the inner façade is designed with a white perforated brick which reinforces the contrast and discontinuity between the old parts and the new elements. From the outside, the perception of the old church is restored, whereas in the inside, the building preserves the atmosphere of rest and introspection of the original sacred space.
改造計(jì)劃為教堂在緊鄰的獨(dú)棟住宅之間開(kāi)辟了新的入口。此入口與之前的不同，從原來(lái)被焚毀的地方進(jìn)入到新的大廳中，使原本被墻壁分割而感到壓抑的空間得到釋放。藤蔓，樹(shù)木，草坪和潺潺流水為建筑定義了一個(gè)新的空間。
The project offers a new alternative entrance to the building through the transformation of the area of the former graveyard, an adjacent space located between the church and the attached single family house. The project replaces the former access of the apse —a bizarre door introduced after the demolition of the church— and transforms this space into a new entrance patio, dignifying this area after years of being suffocated by the large adjacent dividing wall. The pergola, the trees, the carpeting vegetation and the water chain draw a new scenography that serves as an entrance threshold to the church’s interior.
