In this episode, Cherise is joined by Gianpiero Pugliese, Founding Principal at Audax with offices in Toronto, Ontario, and Palm Beach, Florida. They discuss St. Catherine's Chapel in Florence, Italy.

You can see the project here as you listen along.

Saint Catherine’s Chapel is conceived as an architectural excavation rather than an object placed in the landscape. Embedded entirely beneath an artificial hill in Viola Park, the chapel asserts its presence through spatial sequence and light rather than mass or monumentality. Carrara marble is employed for liturgical furnishings, anchoring the space in both regional material tradition and architectural longevity.
