I must say, IT's grasp of basic english grammar is a little bit iffy if this translation is any indication!
Ok, that sentence makes almost NO SENSE. Remove the last "the" and it reads a little better.
What would possess you to say something like that? It's gobbldygook!
Huh? (Sorry IT!! )

As they say, il traduttore è il traditore -- the translator is the traitor. My original was:
Nel 1988 cominciai a studiare le applicazioni del Concilio Vaticano II in relazione all'architettura, I began to examine the architectural implementation of the Vatican II documents in 1998. Questa ricerca era mossa dall'intuizione che ci fosse una sproporzione tra la nobile visione che il Concilio dava della persona umana, della liturgia, della vita parrocchiale, tra il suo linguaggio, che evidenziava chiaramente un rispetto per le profonde tradizioni della Chiesa, e gli orientamenti degli edifìci liturgici e delle opere dì arte sacra che venivano realizzati «nello spirito del Concilio». This investigation was precipitated by an intuition that there was a disjuncture between the noble vision of the Council for the human person, for liturgy, parish life, and the evident language of respect for the deep traditions of the Church as set against the sorts of church buildings and sacred art commissions that were being erected “in the spirit of the Council”.
In molte chiese dell'Occidente latino c’è la tendenza a esporre riproduzioni di icone orientali. Le sembra un fatto positivo? Non le pare che sia questo il segno di una crisi dell'arte occidentale, divenuta troppo astratta, troppo distante dal linguaggio del popolo, in rapporto ali 'immagine sacra? E l'architettura non soffre dello stesso problema? Ho l'impressione che il fascino esercitato sugli occidentali dalle icone orientali sia una risposta all'assenza dì figurazione nell'arte sacra della seconda metà del XX secolo. In many western Latin churches we see the tendency to exhibit reproductions of oriental icons. Is this a positive direction? [Or] does this not seem to be a sign of a crisis in western art, which has become too abstract, too removed from the language of the people, in relation to the sacred image? And does architecture suffer from the same problem? I suspect that the western fashion for eastern icons is in reaction to the lack of figuration in sacred art in the last half of the 20th century. ----------------- Oh well, I guess it works in Italian! Opti: L'intervista era in inglese. Non ho visto la traduzione prima che fosse pubblicata. |

secondo il tuo parere professionale, quale tra le varie chiese famose del mondo esprime meglio la natura sacramentale della Chiesa attraverso le "metafore fondamentali" di cui hai parlato nell'intervista? so che si tratta di opinioni personali, sono solo curiosa di conoscere il tuo parere!

Le metafore sono intrecciate nel nuovo testamento (Apocalisse 21) e nell'architettura della chiesa migliore. Ciascuno dei modelli (corpo, tenda/tempio, città) lo esprime il rapporto tra "le parti e il tutto", ma penso che la maggior parte della espressione "architettonica" sia nel gotico -- "la città di vetro". Mi piace la pittura del Jean Fouquet del tempio del Solomone nello stile gotico. Capisce? |

I was once told, whilst sitting in a pew in Il Duomo in Milan, that I was the most beautiful thing in the building. Of course...the man was Irish, and was hoping to get laid. :lol: |
