CAZA’s Santuario de La Salle church pushes the boundaries of traditional religious design at the De La Salle University campus in the Philippines’ Biñan City
at the De La Salle University campus in Biñan City, the Philippines. The church and community hub is exemplary of CAZA’s practice and sensitivity for exploring how architecture can 'shape meaningful experiences, enhance its context [and] connect people to place and heritage’.
The award-winning Santuario de La Salle has been widely recognised as an outstanding structure in its genre and built landscape.The building lies nestled within a leafy glade, naturally set apart from bustling scenes at the university campus. Named after the patron saint of teachers, John Baptist de La Salle, the space is designed to offer 'a different idea of spiritual inclusiveness' for educators, students and wider congregating communities.
At a glance, its strikingly white, organic shape is mysterious in its surrounding context. Only an abstractly formed steeple with a comparatively discreet crucifix alludes to its function. Made softer by the use of raw, textured materials, the structure bears an unexpected yet assured sense of belonging within the surrounding wooded landscape.
