Abstract
«Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be com-forted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteous-ness, forthey shall be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall seeGod. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed are they who are persecuted for thesake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven» (Matthew 5:3-10).A place for quiet and silence. Can an object question human indifference? The metaphor of the world’s assembly? Theprimitive hut. Built with recycled leftover materials, enhancing primitive and industrial techniques. Two cylinders: a 4 metershigh circular fence, made from a metal structure guides a weave of wooden brunches and makes room for an in-betweenspace: the threshold of the ‘inside’. The white room, a 6 meters cylinder built from recycled formwork panels, paved withearth, allows the gathering of love, suffering and hope. Around the Eucharistic supper and the ‘table’ of the Word, theassembly gives tangibility to the experience of Emaus
