| Sumario: | In the mid twentieth century, years before the Second Vatican Council, a new era of religious construction began in Aguascalientes, Mexico, using current construction methods and modern mechanisms of plastic signifi-cance. Establishing a new paradigm in the diocese in architectural matters. Innovative geometries and configurations, and within the resulting collec-tion, the temple of the Lord of the Lightning has a special connotation for detaching itself from the trend without iconographic ornaments, and on the contrary, appealing to iconology through a cover that is still far from the traditional composition of bodies and streets, refers directly to ancestral images of the Christian repertoire in a superimposed sculptural compo-sition, resulting in a disconcerting and unique building in Aguascalientes, groundbreaking and paradoxically traditional as well. |
