Abstract

The church Mater Misericordiae is a sacred building raised in Baranzate (Milan) at the end of the decade of the 50s. It supposes the culmination of a series of experiences that were claiming the renovation of the liturgy and, with it, the renovation of the architecture. His construction, framed within a broader plan undertaken by the Archbishopric of Milan, supposed a great advance in several fields related, principally, with the modernity of the sacred architecture, the construction and the new technologies. It incorporates the use not only of concrete, material little used until that moment in sacred constructions, but also, it introduces a prefabrication and post-tensioned system "In situ" for the execution of the structure that shows the interest of the technical personnel of the epoch to find new means of systematizing of the construction. The constructive system of used closing allows to delimit the liturgical space by means of a translucent skin that surrounds the space, allowing the entry of natural light during the day and the lighting of the environment during the night. The present investigation treats on the different solutions that have used in the resolution of the fronts, doing special support in the solution used in the last rehabilitation to which it has been submitted. In this case they have tried to incorporate each other the modern technologies most advanced for the resolution of the problems that this one was presenting but respecting to the maximum the idea of the original project.
