서론
이탈리아 리올라 디 베르가토의 아펜니노 산맥 기슭에 자리 잡은 리올라 성당은 핀란드의 저명한 건축가 알바 알토(Alvar Aalto)가 설계한 걸작입니다. 1965년에 설계가 시작되어 1978년에 완공된 이 교회는 자연과 건축이 하나로 어우러진 공간을 창조하려는 알토의 철학을 구현한 대표적 사례로 평가받고 있습니다. 이 성당은 단순히 종교적 목적을 넘어, 지역 공동체와 자연, 그리고 인간의 연결을 상징하는 공간으로 자리 잡고 있습니다.

외부 디자인: 자연과의 조화
리올라 성당의 외부 디자인은 자연과의 완벽한 조화를 추구합니다. 물결치는 지붕의 곡선은 주변의 몬토볼로, 몬테 비제제, 몬테 비고 산맥의 형상을 반영하며, 성당이 자연의 일부처럼 느껴지도록 합니다.

캄파닐레(종탑)는 교회의 물결 모양 지붕과 대비를 이루며, 수직적 균형감을 제공합니다. 밝은 콘크리트 외장은 단순함과 신성함을 강조하며, 교회를 자연스럽게 주변 환경에 녹아들게 합니다. 특히, 지붕의 곡선은 산맥의 물리적 형태를 모방하는 동시에, 예배자들에게 정신적 평온과 자연과의 연결을 느끼게 하는 중요한 건축적 장치로 작용합니다.

내부 디자인: 빛과 공간의 상호작용
리올라 성당 내부는 빛을 활용한 공간의 연출이 돋보입니다. 비대칭적인 천창 설계는 시간대에 따라 변화하는 자연광을 실내로 끌어들여 공간의 분위기를 지속적으로 변화시킵니다. 제단은 가장 밝은 빛이 모이는 공간으로 설계되어 예배 공간의 중심성을 강조합니다. 빛은 공간의 흐름을 따라 이동하며, 아치형 빔과 리브 구조를 통해 신성함과 경건함을 강화합니다.

내부 공간은 흰색 석고 벽과 따뜻한 나무 소재를 사용하여 간결하고 편안한 분위기를 조성합니다. 리드미컬하게 배열된 아치형 빔은 시각적 흐름을 유도하며, 창문을 통해 보이는 리멘트라 강은 예배자들에게 자연과의 연결을 느끼게 합니다. 빛과 자연의 조화는 방문자들에게 단순한 공간 경험 이상의 깊은 영적 울림을 제공합니다.

재료와 구조
리올라 성당은 현대적 건축 기술과 창의적인 재료 사용이 결합된 결과물입니다. 6개의 비대칭 프리패브 콘크리트 프레임은 구조적 안정성을 제공하며, 동시에 독특한 외관을 형성합니다. 조명 스쿱(scoop)은 자연광을 내부로 유도하고, 프리패브 기술은 시간과 비용 효율성을 극대화하면서도 건축적 완성도를 유지합니다. 이 설계는 알토가 가구와 조명 디자인에서 보여준 실험적 접근을 반영하며, 구조적 안정성과 예술적 미학을 동시에 충족합니다.

기능과 실용성
리올라 성당은 예배를 위한 공간일 뿐 아니라, 지역 공동체 활동의 중심지로도 활용됩니다. 성가대와 오르간이 배치된 예배 공간은 음향적 효과를 극대화하며, 제단과의 조화로운 설계로 예배의 중심성을 강화합니다. 또한, 소규모 모임을 위한 부속 공간은 다양한 공동체 활동을 지원하며, 교회가 지역 주민들에게 실질적인 가치를 제공하는 장소로 기능합니다. 이 성당은 건축적 아름다움과 실용성이 완벽히 결합된 공간으로, 지역 사회와의 긴밀한 연결을 강조합니다.

유산과 의의
리올라 성당은 현대 건축사에서 자연과 인간, 신성의 융합을 상징하는 작품으로 자리 잡았습니다. 알바 알토의 설계는 단순한 기능적 공간을 넘어, 방문자들에게 깊은 영감을 주는 예술적 공간으로 평가받고 있습니다. 이 건축물은 지속 가능성과 인간 중심적 설계 트렌드에 영향을 미치며, 현대 건축의 새로운 가능성을 제시한 대표적 사례로 남아 있습니다.

결론
알바 알토의 리올라 성당은 자연, 빛, 그리고 신성함이 조화를 이루는 건축적 걸작입니다. 이 교회는 단순한 물리적 공간을 넘어, 인간의 정서와 영혼에 깊은 울림을 주는 상징적 건축물로서 앞으로도 많은 이들에게 영감을 제공할 것입니다.

Luminous Testament: Alvar Aalto’s Ecclesiastical Masterpiece in Riola
Aalto’s distinct vision for the church came to fruition after Cardinal Giacomo Lercaro, the Archbishop of Bologna, invited him to design this sacred edifice upon viewing his work in an exhibition in Florence. Aalto accepted the challenge and thus embarked on a journey that would result in the creation of an extraordinary piece of ecclesiastical architecture.

Inside, the church is a testament to Aalto’s mastery over the play of light, where the northern light, diffused through vertical, asymmetrical ribs, descends into a majestic grid of soft illumination. This light brilliantly transcends the occupier into a holy state. An intensified luminance envelops the altar, establishing a close relationship between the functioning spaces of the altar, choir, organ, and the hexagonal baptistery.

The exterior of the church is a mirror to the three mountains that encompass Riola: Montovolo, Monte Vigese, and Monte Vigo. The geometric forms in the church’s structure converge at a central point, resonating with the unity and centrality the church signifies.

The interior aesthetic remains unadorned and follows a modernist style, with the architectural arches and the natural light from above as the key highlights. A unique addition to the interior is a narrow window which offers a scenic view of the Limentra torrent.

Construction of the church began in 1975, with the final consecration happening in 1978. The Campanile, however, was completed as late as 1993. Aalto’s design includes six asymmetric prefabricated concrete frames, supporting a series of prefabricated light scoops. These elements contribute to the church’s distinctive exterior profile.

Aalto’s design of the church seems to echo his own creations of lamps and bent plywood furniture, suggesting an intentional and fascinating interplay between his architectural and product design work. In fact, the architectural ribs supporting the light shelves in the Riola Parish Church are reminiscent of the structure used to support his light fixtures.
