Spiritual Journey to Oneness
The building is a sacred place for people of all faiths, religion or background to connect with the Divine and their higher self (the real self, awakened aspects of oneself, assessing deeper truths and knowledge). It is designed beyond experience with a series of spaces that allows visitors to experience the process of spirituality.
A Center for Faith Agnostics
The Center for Faith Agnostics is a place of universal welcome. At its simplest, it is a pavilion in a public park. However, for those seeking answers to deeper questions, the Center offers an opportunity to engage with the intersection between physical and spiritual in a series of chapels dedicated to air, fire, water and earth.
There is an ancient approach to the theme of the competition very well translated in the project. The diversity of the spaces is interesting, as it is the design of the park. Although, there is to much happening without a clear purpose. The materiality of the building is quite poor and messy.
PAUSE in the garden
what an intelligent and BEAUTIFUL design!!!!!! absolutely outstanding and unique
Thank you so much for your kind words. With my proposal I have tried to show all my respect and love for the Japanese culture and architecture. Also, I thank you for your criticism, it will help me a lot in the future. Also, and in response to Yudai Niimori, I would feel honoured to be part of your office but I live in NYc. Neverthelesss I do hope that our paths will cross in the future.
Space is filled with intimacy and presentation is quite beautiful and unique. The most prominent part of design is suitable scale of each meditation room on this building and discrete arrangement of the plan.
Beijing's Interfaith Dialogue Centre
The concept of pavilions for spiritual development accessible to everyone regardless of their religion or belief system.
Very poetic concept. The pavillions are well designed and the materialization appeals to the senses. The 'path of Life' is a little bit forced in my opinion. It translates a series of events along the way, but I cannot understand it as the structure that unifies the entire project. It is very fragile in contrast with the overall quality of the project.
CENTER FOR FAITH AGNOSTICS - Into the beating core
Project of the temple for faith agnostics designed a project oriented around the idea of a beating heart
Interesting concept. Design ok. Lacks space diversity.

It is time to create a place for modernists to get the moment of support, connectedness and peace by doing meditation, ring a bell, placing wishing paper on a hole on wall, or just staring at sky... The interesting truth is that people who claiming agnostic still would go to the worship place to find belongingness. This building offer a palce for own ritual.
The concept and integration within the site is interesting. The program is very diversified which is a plus, and there are some really interesting spaces. Although the overall proposal is quite satisfactory, the transition between the different spaces could be smother, more organic, it seems unnatural.
The Unity Circle
With the advancements in technology, humans have been able to effortlessly connect with each other virtually. People yearn to come together, driven by shared beliefs and values, with the ultimate goal of achieving harmony. In this regard, our aspiration is to establish a prayer space for the citizens in V
A calm and thoughtfully conceived wellness environment with a strong connection to nature and human experience. A deeper integration of daylight and lighting quality could further enrich its therapeutic character.
