| Sumario: | With 79-foot column-free spans, the structure is a classic basilica in plan but expressively reinterpreted in section, embracing the congregation and eliminating the need for conventional facades, or any ornamentation beyond the structure itself. SPIRITUAL ARCHITECTURE AGENdA THE MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE that struck central Mexico in 2017 devastated communities, including Jojutla, an inland municipality about 90 miles south of the nation's capital. Still, the design integrates stripped-down allusions to traditional church elements, as in the altar area's curving, freestanding concrete wall, evoking an apse; or the vertical towerlike projection on the entry facade.
