In the 21st century, the Christian liturgical space is immersed in a new process of inculturation. Post-conciliar suggestions have not produced a significant change in architectural proposals, although some artistic initiatives, such as the work of Rupnik, have triggered a deep reflection on the aesthetic and theological meaning of the arts involved in the temple. A methodological approach is proposed to reformulate the liturgical space as a symbolically expectant space. The expectant space, taken as a category, implies that the presence of the Incarnate Mystery is explicitly manifested through the architecture and art that covers it, propitiating and accompanying the encounter in the context of the celebration of the Liturgy.
