Team: Ximena Alvarez and Hector Loli Photographer: Juan Solano The De La Piedra Chapel is located in a natural context of desert vegetation, in contact with the foothills of the Andes mountain chain and the margin of the Lur river, east of the city of Lima. The placement, away from the preexisting dwelling, isolates from everyday and induces a long walk in order to reach the project. The generating line of this hike derives from a form of nature: the seashell. This continuous spiral creates an enclosure within the vastness of the plot, and by means of reflection and surprise, values the transition from the "profane" of everyday life to a profoundly "sacred" space where verticality is the means to approach the divine.Its orthogonal geometry allows to differentiate stages throughout the pilgrimage.
