TRANSCENDENT ARCHITECTURE
Much religious architecture strives for permanence and grandness symbolizing the human spirit and our highest aspirations. These buildings often miss connecting with the individual, by addressing our existential presence and the passage of time.
Imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete
In this studio, we examine a transcendent, accessible architecture, engaging the individual through a combination of simple wood materiality and passing light, translating ‘pure’ ideas into form and space. This synthesis of the material and temporal allows for a beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete found in the ‘three marks of existence’ from Buddhism.
