The Parish
Complex of S.Agostino di Canterbury and Nostra Signora del Suffragio is situated in the
east of Rome, in the outer suburb of Torre Maura and inside the great ring road. From its
higher position the Church dominates a vast area of the Roman countryside, still
preserved, thanks to the presence of archaeological remains, ancient Roman aqueducts and
medieval towers. The complex consists of two volumes with distinct funcions. The first, a
long porticoed construction which contains the rectory and parish offices, runs across the
site incorporating the steep gradients. The second is the quadrilateral consecrated
consecrated building. Detail of the towers. |

The Church
is composed of four rectangular and four round towers. The rectangular ones are taller
than the round ones and acts as "canon lumiere" , openins for light and air
placed above the roof covering to provide light for the presbytery and the entrances. The
exterior features two principal materials: brick, in which the entire building is clad;
and metal, (alluminium and zinc galvanized iron), used for the fittings, the structure
supporting the bells and the main gates. Inside the only material employed is cement used
in various ways. Carlo Berarducci www.carloberarducci.com |
