Appreciation towards STUDIO associates for providing the following description:

寂静教堂位于意大利布雷西亚某小镇的一处山顶。教堂的北面、南面和东面由广阔的森林环抱，这也是该谷地的主要景观。教堂的西面是一片葡萄园，平缓的坡地向山脚下延伸。由此，教堂成为了连接森林与葡萄园的过渡地带。

The Chapel of Silence is located on the top of a valley in a little town in the province of Brescia, Botticino. The Chapel is situated on the border between the vast wild wood that dominates the landscape of the valley, which embraces the Chapel on three sides (North, South and East), and a vineyard in the West that gently slopes down on three cliffs towards the bottom of the valley, acting as a threshold element between the two territorial systems.

这是一个俗世的教堂，由一个有着多元化宗教信仰的当地团体共同修建。这意味着教堂需要成为一个能供所有人使用的神圣而安静的祈祷场所。到达教堂之前要先经过一条贯穿了整个葡萄园的上坡路。到达入口以后，你会看到一个悬浮于地面的体量，它的底座由Botticino当地的大理石筑成，同时也可用来收集雨水。

The Chapel is laic. It is born out of the desire of a local community formed by members of different religious beliefs. It is meant to be a place of worship, silence, and prayer, suitable for everyone. The arrival to the Chapel is preceded by a long uphill walk, on a trail that runs all along the vineyard. Once at the entrance, you are welcomed in the Chapel that is suspended from the ground, by a monolithic element made of Botticino’s marble and excavated on the surface. This element serves also as a rainwater collector.

第一个空间是带有一个小窗口的狭窄长方形空间，它将帮助“祈祷者”做好心里准备，同时与自然形成一种特定的联系。第二个空间也是主要的空间，包括框住了森林景致的窗框，以及一3米高的、由当地大理石打造而成的石碑。“祈祷者”们可以自由地使用这一空间。因此，这里没有任何预先布置好的设施，只有几个黑色的皮革枕头可以随意使用。黑色的窗帘进一步满足了室内空间对私密性的要求。

The first space, longitudinal, leads to a fragment of the wood, framed by an iron opening that emotionally prepares the “prayer” for what is to come, and introduces a measured bond with nature. The second space, the main one, made of the small assembly that frames the outer forest and a three meters high menhir made of Botticino’s marble. This space was designed to be interpreted freely by the “prayer”. Therefore, there is no pre-constituted assembly, but only some large dark leather pillows that may be arranged as desired. A black curtain also regulates the levels of intimacy with the outside as required.

教堂的形状来源于对当地有记录的建筑原型的细致考察，从而在融合当代元素的同时，唤起人们的熟悉感与集体记忆。教堂长度和高度为6米，宽度为3米，整体由木材构成，以沥青覆盖的表皮为其赋予了橡树树干般的颜色，正如围绕着它的森林一样。

The study of the shape is drawn from a careful analysis of the local archetypes that have been catalogued and reinterpreted, in such a way as to form a contemporary element evoking images that are both familiar and part of the collective memory. The Chapel is six meters long, six meters high and 3 meters wide. It is entirely made of bitumen-coated wood that lends it a black color, similar to that of the trunks of the oaks that surround it and towards which the Chapel looks.
