Abstract
In 1970 father Joseph Champlin writes: «the vast majority waits this new epoch in the life of our church». Mark Mills develops in 1971 the project BEA, a submarine chapel inspired in the form of a manta ray, that would travel all over the world becoming a «marine symbol consecrated to peace». The proposal, seen as a realistic project, follows the research of countercultural architectures next to Fuller’s, in which the habitat of man and his relationship with nature and the community become essential elements of the project, defining a more cognitive and sensible space but symbolic or figurative.
