English summary: In 2011, the French town of Lilas replaced its nineteenth-century church with a new, modern building that bridged the gap between religious and secular. The town’s various actors, including the parish, politically left town council, and the architects involved in the project debated, discussed, and cooperated in creating a singular edifice. The present volume documents various stages of this unique project. French description: Dans la commune des Lilas (Seine-Saint-Denis), la nouvelle eglise a ete inauguree et consacree le 30 janvier 2011. Cet edifice contemporain remplace l’eglise du XIXe siecle qui se trouvait dans un etat critique. Sa construction a ete l’occasion d’une collaboration inedite entre le diocese de Saint Denis, la mairie (gauche plurielle) et les architectes. Mener a bien ce projet aura ete l’occasion de debats, parfois vifs et souvent enrichissants, entre tous les acteurs, la ville, le diocese, les architectes, les paroissiens et plus largement les lilasiens. Le diocese a souhaite maintenir la continuite du culte pendant toute l’operation. Le nouvel edifice, destine a la communaute catholique, remplace une eglise anterieure a 1905. En vertu de la loi de separation de l’Eglise et de l’Etat, il est aussi un batiment public et a ete en grande partie finance par la ville des Lilas. L’agence Enia architectes associee a l’architecte italien Mauro Galantino a soutenu un parti pris architectural resolument contemporain, deroutant pour un lieu de culte. Ce livre raconte l’histoire de ces desirs reunis sous la contrainte unificatrice du projet : le programme initial, la realisation architecturale, la creation artistique, le pari politique, le pari diocesen, la reception des paroissiens et administres. Tout ceci sur fond des debats sur la laicite, l’elitisme de l’art contemporain et la tentation du communautarisme.
