Nestled in Turin, the Chiesa del Gesù Redentore stands as a testament to innovative architecture. The Redentore isn’t just a church; it’s a geometric marvel. Its design, a longitudinal form without a transept, spans 1000 square meters. The outer walls are formed by seven angled sections on each long side, repeating at sixty-degree angles. These robust buttresses, positioned obliquely to the side walls, support the unique roof structure. The roof itself is a fascinating network. The axes of its beams, when projected horizontally, create a weave of equilateral triangles. These triangles, three meters high, dictate the church’s modular design. A three-dimensional grid, formed by a longitudinal horizontal module, a transverse horizontal module of 3.4 meters (the triangle’s side), and a vertical module of 2.45 meters, defines the entire structure. This grid determines the intersections of the main lines and the key points that shape the architectural composition and static system of the Redentore. The Chiesa del Gesù Redentore, completed between 1954 and 1957, showcases a compelling contrast. The walls, crafted from red brick, are offset by the exposed concrete of the roof structure. The roof, with its numerous folds and skylights, allows light to play across the interior, creating a spiritually charged atmosphere. The church underwent renovations in 2002, ensuring its continued service to the community. The Chiesa del Gesù Redentore stands as a remarkable example of architectural ingenuity, a must-see for anyone visiting Turin.
