Aldo Loris Rossi — Chiesa del Sacro Cuore

A personal study and 3D recreation of a visionary brutalist church.

This project was modeled entirely from scratch using reference photography to capture the raw geometry and symbolic essence of Rossi’s architecture.

Inspired by the building’s monumental presence and sculptural form, I developed custom procedural shaders in Blender to emulate the textured concrete and weathered surfaces.

Rendering was handled with Cycles, emphasizing the interplay between light and form. Post-processing and projection work in Nuke to evoke the architecture’s solemn light and monumental spirit.
