| Abstrait: | This paper has the aim to deep into the construction process of the three pieces that constitute the Cristo Obrero church in Estación Atlántida, Uruguay: the temple, its baptistery, and the bell tower. The paper will explore the relationship between the initial forms, conceived according to Eladio Dieste's previous industrial buildings, and the construction experiences derived from the selection of new forms under different function needs. In one hand, are the small pieces prefabricated on site with reinforced tile, like those for the roofs on the access to the baptistery and its communication with the temple, as well as the steps for the bell tower. In the other hand are the large pieces, as the curved walls and the roof of the temple. The precarious procedures and formworks to its fabrication contrast with the sophisticated structural balance of the ensemble and the tension cables inside the ceramic tile, anchored to the upper undulated beam. |
