为了应对在铃鹿的外国天主教社区的急剧增长，需要一个新的宗教空间，不仅用于崇拜，而且用于社会互动。天主教铃鹿教堂是由Alphaville建筑事务所设计的，它整合了多种功能，包括一个小教堂、一个社区大厅和牧师的住所。该项目位于本田汽车工业基地的铃鹿市，位于两条主要街道的交叉口，其中一条是新建的高速公路，另一条是江户时代以来连接东京和大阪的古老道路。
Responding to a dramatic growth in the foreign Catholic community in Suzuka, a new religious space is needed not only for worships but also social interactions. The Catholic Suzuka Church, presented by the Alphaville Architects, is an integration of multiple functions including a chapel, a community hall and residences for priests. Located in Suzuka, where the HONDA motor industry bases, the presented project is sitting on the cross junction of two major streets, with one being a newly built motorway and the remaining one being an ancient road connecting Tokyo and Osaka since Edo period.
该项目有一个富有表现力的屋顶，将所有的功能空间包裹起来。它的形状是多个对角线的拱门，相互重叠，有空隙。这是受城市周围迷人的山景的启发，并提醒市民注意自然的优雅。
The project features an expressive roof which wraps up all the functional spaces. It is shaped as multiple diagonal arches overlapping each other with gaps. This was inspired by the stunning mountain scape surrounding the city, and reminds citizens of the natural elegance.
为了应对周日的人群，整个体量被抬起，以最大限度地增加下面的停车空间，而不缩减其他功能区。屋顶每隔五米被分割成一块–参考停车场模块–用于天窗，将南方的自然光引入室内。通过两个缓缓倾斜的楼梯连接，二楼的引路人和入口大厅定义了一个广场，用于社交活动和缓冲严重机动化的城市的影响。
To handle crowds on Sundays, the whole volume is lifted to maximize the car parking space underneath without shrinking the other functional areas. The roof is split into pieces every five meters – referring to the parking lot module – for skylights to introduce the southern natural light to the interiors. Connected by two gently inclined staircases, the pilotis and the entrance lobbies on the second floor define a plaza for social events and buffering from the heavily motorized city.
参照 “Nori的数字/地面理论”，大堂被设计成城市道路的延伸，操纵 “由内向外 “的空间之间的关系，汇聚在教堂，使人们能够轻松接近。
Referring to the “Nori’s figure/ground theory”, the lobby is designed as an extension of the city pathways, manipulating relationships among the “inside-out” spaces converging at the church that allow easy approaches.
凭借其生动的姿态，该项目超越了先例，增强了可及性，将崇拜转化为日常生活中的哲学，并通过自然光的落下为人类和圣地架起桥梁。
With its lively gesture, this project surpasses precedents with enhanced accessibility, translating worships into daily-life philosophy and bridges mankind to the holy with falls of natural light.
