Vilanova de la Barca古教堂

THE OLD CHURCH OF VILANOVA DE LA BARCA, SPAIN

Vilanova de la Barca古教堂是13世纪哥特式建筑,自1936年西班牙内战以来,这栋教堂被大面积摧毁,此后便一直处于废墟状态,仅保留一个拱顶,一些中殿碎片和西立面。修建该项目的主旨是恢复教堂的损毁部分并将它的旧有结构改造成多功能大厅,以期实现这栋建筑新与旧、古与今的对话。原教堂被规划为巴西利卡式,两个中庭,一个长廊及侧面的小型礼拜堂。建筑全长22 m,宽7 m,内部的空间被设计师提升到10 m。在东面的部分,遗存下来的建筑包含两个古罗马式石墩和17世纪哥特晚期风格的拱顶。整个教堂都是由同色调方砖建成,大部分都遭遇过损害与侵蚀。同时,一座建造在原墓地遗址处的独院住宅也影响了教堂的整体氛围。

The Ancient Church of Vilanova de la Barca(Lleida,Spain)is a 13th century Gothic building that was partially demolished in 1936 as a result of the bombings during the Spanish Civil War.Since then,thechurch had been in a general state of ruin,preserving just its apse,some fragments of the naves and the westfacade.The main aim of the project was to recover the rests of the ancient church and to restore its originalappearance while transforming the old structure in a new multi-purpose hall.The project aims to establish an rchitectural dialogue between the old parts and the new elements,between the past and the present.The original church has a basilica-styled floor plan with two naves,a presbytery and lateral chapels.Thebuilding is 22 meters long and 7 meters wide,with an interior space rising up to 10 meters.In the orientalpart,the surviving construction preserved two impressive lateral buttresses,probably of a Romanesque origin,and a ribbed vault of the 17th century in a late Gothic style in the apse.The entire church was built with a tone ashlar of the area which was largely damaged by the weather conditions and the erosion of time.More recently,the church has been severely affected by the construction of an attached single family house in the former graveyard.
