Arquitetura evangélica no Brasil: reformadores e pentecostais

Abstract

This article seeks to identify the physical characteristics of evangelical temples, and search for a visual and architectural identity that differentiate them in the urban landscape of context. In this search for answers, we find non-places as sacred environment and pastiches. In addition, it was discovered that there is a link between the Protestant architecture and the Modern movement, which brought positive aspects, since both were made from people to people. Furthermore, the Modernist architects used religious philosophies of that branch of Christianism, such as celebrations, gatherings, importance of the spoken word and the community sense through the spatiality itself during the act of designing.
