San Isidro church is an abandoned ruin in the city of Antonito, CO. Built in1932, San Isidro is an interesting case where form can be influenced by the function of the church. this roof structure scheme creates an occulus that corresponds to the sun angles in the area. The wind scoops on the westerly side catch the prevailing winds to provide ventilation to the church. the hyperbolic vault is a visual reference to the gable roof that once sat on the structure-it is also a very structural roof system.
