Nomade Taller建筑师事务所设计了一个教堂，名为Space to Talk with God.（与上帝对话的神圣空间），Rumipamba社区全程参与该教堂的设计，因此，教堂满足了社区的精神需求。该项目设计宗旨是将社区与神明联系起来，并将传统的建筑技术流传下去，也是对当地文化技艺的保留方式。

项目位于Rumiñahui 的乡村教区，因没有专门的教堂，该社区人们的信仰随着时间的流逝而逐渐减弱。该项目的建设就是为了能够改变这一现状，建设一个神圣空间，将人们的信仰重现建立。在该项目的设计过程中，设计师与当地社区居民开了5次会议，均是讨论当地人们的各种观点和精神需求，设计师都将他们的想法融入到了设计中。这种参与式的设计才会满足该社区居民真正的精神需求，还能够完美地将社区文化背景融入到设计中。

Nomade Taller de Arquitectura responds to the spiritual needs of the Rumipamba community in Quito, Ecuador, creating ‘Space to Talk with God.’ Conceived through a participatory design process, the project aims to reconnect the community with the sacred while revitalizing ancestral building techniques. This initiative honors local craftsmanship, in an act of cultural revaluation.
Located in the rural parish of Rumiñahui, the community had never had a dedicated church space, and their faith was visibly waning over time. The project’s goal was to create a space that could transform this reality through architecture, reaffirming its role as an agent of change. The design process involved a series of five collaborative meetings with the community, where local perspectives and spiritual needs were discussed and integrated into the design. The resulting architecture is a direct manifestation of the community’s worldview, emphasizing a deep connection to their social and cultural context.

该建筑墙体为土墙，是为了向传统的建筑技术致敬，也是为了降低建造成本。这种设计方法也符合当地的经济状况，满足他们低成本高效率解决问题的需求。该项目需要建造一个人们能够与上帝对话的神圣空间，内部空间较小，但是布局合理，还设计有一个多功能祭坛，除当地人使用外，还对外开放。场地内还设计有室外集会空间，这是室内空间的延伸。

该建筑的室内空间体验感较为丰富，入口空间较黑较狭窄，进入内部后会逐渐到达光亮的主厅，意味着来到了神明庇佑中。该项目的祭坛由三个台阶组成，分别代表圣父、圣子和圣灵，并设计有木格子柔化入射的光线。外部祭坛则是使用两个相交的横竖木梁形成的一个十字架，只有在场地特定的位置才能够看见，增加了户外空间的神圣感。

The designers opted for earthen walls, paying homage to the region’s vernacular construction methods while also utilizing local resources to keep costs low. This choice reflects the economic realities of the community and their need for a cost-effective solution. The primary architectural premise is to create a space where individuals can connect with the divine, and speak with God. The interior of the temple is minimal, optimized for the use of the locals, and includes a dual-function altar, oriented both inward and outward, allowing the church to accommodate larger gatherings by extending into the surrounding environment.
The interior space is designed as a sensory experience, beginning with a narrow, dark entryway that opens into a main hall bathed in natural light, symbolizing divine presence. The altar is composed of three steps, representing the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and features a wooden lattice that softens the incoming light. The exterior altar, integrated into the design, uses two intersecting wooden beams, one vertical and one horizontal, to form a cross, visible only from a specific vantage point, adding a sacred dimension to the outdoor space as well.
