The new arts complex is built along the Bilbao model to be a focus for the local community, hosting not just gallery shows but also events The bright red facade is a radical choice in a country that has a long association with white rendered concrete, in both its traditional vernacular architecture and the Critical Regionalism associated with Siza and his followers The project is treated as a soaring enclosure, with high, angled roofs referencing the peaks of the nearby Lousã Mountains and generous new landscaping that knits the complex into the suburban context From the main foyer space, visitors can access all areas of the new complex Receive our daily digest of inspiration, escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox.

The Temple itself is shaped like a pyramid with a quadrilateral base with a height of 13.4 metres to invoke the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem while it can also be related to the pyramids of Egypt The corners of the building are oriented according to the four cardinal points: North the initials of the words Bondade (B) (kindness) Moral (M) (moral) and Verdade (V) (truth) are in capital letters where visitors can find chronological data on the 15 religions with the most followers in the world visitors can read the history of religions such as Christianity Visitors can also enjoy an area dedicated to the history of warfare of a religious nature and dedicated to religious intolerance The historical information contained in the Observatory was provided by the Science of Religions department at Universidade Lusófona The Temple aims "to promote the freedom to those who believe or not in God as the basis for creating peace in the world." In the central area of ​​the Temple it is possible to find an area free of religious reasons to promote “spiritual reflection” so that each visitor can pray according to their faith The emphasis given to religions is the same as that given to atheists as all views regarding the personal view of religion are respected and included in the Universalist Ecumenical Temple The space is consolidated outside the temple in a rectangular space with a chess floor that alludes to Masonic temples which refers to a speech by Pope Benedict XVI who called for the inclusion of atheists and agnostics in the religious debate in homage to Galileo Galilei's theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun and not the other way around The play tries to explain that truths are not absolute and used Galileo's theory as an example which eventually led to the scientist being condemned by the Inquisition more than four centuries ago The cube is also intended to represent that religious belief cannot negatively influence science Ticket prices vary between €9 and €14 Jaime Ramos emphasises that “the majority of workers are people with disabilities or mental illness” so visitors have the opportunity not only to reflect the messages read in the Temple but also to support a social integration project We appreciate that not everyone can afford to pay for our services but if you are able to we ask you to support The Portugal News by making a contribution – no matter how small You can change how much you give or cancel your contributions at any time Regarding the Universalist Ecunemical Temple Great Work where every human being regardless faith religion or skin color is Welcomed Thank you to Mr Jaìme and to ThePortugalNews who have reported it I find it fascinating that a this building intended to be a center of peace for all beliefs is strikingly modelled after the "All seeing eye" so prevalent to a particular denomination of christian churches and all the way back to Egyptology and the Eye of Horus Hopefully there will be some explanation as to why this structure was chosen They should build a temple and call it the temple of Jesus Christ Only Jesus saves people from sin and death Jesus shed his blood on a cross like a lamb and only through Jesus can God hear your prayers If you believe in Jesus and have faith in him you'll be saved and have eternal life If you don't believe in Jesus and don't have faith in him No Religion or any other name or no one else can save you In the past they sacrificed animals to pay for the sins of people so that through him we might have eternal life collective or ecumenical values but we shouldn't forget the individual it's so fashionable to be everything to everybody that in the end we'll be nothing to nobody Send us your comments or opinion on this article Reaching over 400,000 people a week with news about Portugal The Casa das Artes in Miranda do Corvo, Portugal, is a project by the architectural office FAT -
