Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista, Parish church in Villaggio Giardino Necchi, Arzignano, Italy.
San Giovanni Battista is a parish church in Villaggio Giardino Necchi whose concrete structure shows organic architecture principles, integrating harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. The building combines functional design with religious purpose and creates a modern sacred space.
Architect Giovanni Michelucci designed the building in 1967 in response to new church guidelines that parish priest Don Nilo Rigotto requested. The church emerged when modern sacred spaces were exploring new forms.
The church serves as a meeting place for worship and community gatherings that bring together the residents of the neighborhood through shared religious and social moments. It shapes daily life and creates opportunities for people to connect.
The interior is accessible only to groups of at least ten people and must be scheduled at least two weeks in advance. Individual visitors can admire the exterior architecture and explore the building's form from different viewpoints.
The concrete of the building displays unusual surface treatment that echoes natural forms and reinterprets the material in a fresh way. This detail shows how Michelucci connected traditional materials with modern shapes.
