A smokestack, now symbolically encased in a steel spiral, has been preserved from this industrial reality. Two levels of parking spaces and the foyer of the conference centre are located below the churchyard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The architecture of the new sanctuary has a central plan with seven radial towers serving as skylights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Externally there is no main fa\u00e7ade, so that from every visible point in the city there is a single image. To further underline the &#8220;rebirth&#8221; of this place, natural materials were used as far as possible: terracotta bricks alternating with red Verona stone for the exterior cladding and flooring, maple wood for the ceiling covering. At the explicit request of the Archdiocese of Turin, a modern image of the Holy Shroud translated into pixels and reconstructed in this way on the wall behind the altar is located inside.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":6104,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[106,105],"tags":[],"evidenza":[],"giorno":[],"class_list":["post-6103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-churches-and-sites-in-turin","category-insights"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6103"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6103\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6109,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6103\/revisions\/6109"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6103"},{"taxonomy":"evidenza","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/evidenza?post=6103"},{"taxonomy":"giorno","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torino2024.equipes-notre-dame.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/giorno?post=6103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
