IN BETWEEN WALLS

The project aims to create a hidden underground 'in between' space along the existing park. It creates a barrier with the highway with a solid wall, while creating a permeability in between the current historical remains and the proposed underground hidden space, which makes the 'in between' space a living section.

ISOLATION MOMENTUM

Faith isn't always something fundamental for people, that’s why the project not only seeks to provide a space where users connect with their God but also to provide a special place where they can meditate and find themselves. We created different realities in the park where everyone can escape in their own way.

SHIELD

Shield creates spaces that seek the congregation of all people who need a place of meditation. It proposes two contrasting levels, the lower one is isolated from noise and protected from the city with the intention of disconnecting you. On the other hand, the upper level proposes a green roof that connects you with nature, opening your view towards the park.

INTROVERSE

Located in a park in the heart of Beijing, the project creates a secluded space that protects users from the busy environment and prompts each individual to find their own expression of faith. Nature was used as a key element to contextualize the project while the spiral shape evokes the idea of a journey one makes towards the central space.

Facing Nature

A peaceful sanctuary within Beijing, filled with raw natural materials. Entering through a threshold, marking the transition from busy Beijing, to peaceful sanctuary, where one deposits all material things, and then journey underground through the site, with circular courtyards framing trees and corridors leading to meditation pods.

Kathédra Pavilion

The English word Cathedral, meaning ‘Bishop’s Seat’, is derived from the actual throne of the bishop, the Cathedra. The Kathédra Pavilion implies a return to the original meaning. Where the chairs (or pews) would traditionally line up facing the Bishops throne, now they create the actual walls of the edifice.

FAITH

People should have some space where they would be able to pray, do some practices, feel the presence of something sacred or just enjoy the moment of being alone. I want to create a few objects with different shape. People of any religion would be able to visit these objects. It would allow them to do some mental and physical practices like meditation.

NEST

Human is a being that exists with its emotions. Just like the design of the Chinese coin, should have a soft/curved structure against the outside, even though it has a doglegged structure in line with its own thoughts. NEST emphasizes the sense of quality and unity as well as being able to exist together by putting aside the elements that distinguish people

Center for Faith Agnostics

The Agnostics Center is supposed to be a place that breaks the patterns repeated for thousands of years, and is a contradiction of all kinds of divisions. It is supposed to be a public place where everyone can find their proverbial asylum.

ODYSSEY

This project aims to gather people, regardless of their religious beliefs, around a common value.The will that they used while choosing their beliefs was made available to them in different ways. It is aimed that people have common feelings through various intersections and experiences. Visitors will find their emotions in this search platform.

faith

The proposed center will be open for all regardless of their faith. It isn’t made religion specific, but without ignoring the minimum basic requirements demanded by each of them. So the design intended to resonate the feeling of spirituality and neutrality by inviting people of all faith or faithless without creating conflict.

Soul temple

The bionic form of the center separates the park from the noisy street and creates a closed chamber space in which you can escape from the everyday hustle and bustle in a calm atmosphere. The darkened main area allows the visitor to be alone with himself, look inside himself and think about the eternal.
