Chapel of the Sacred Self
2023 - Festival des Architectures Vives 23
Competition Entry
Sacredness has become plural. No
longer the rites and rituals themselves, but the documentation of them has
become the sacred good. It is no longer important what it is but how it is
contributing to an identity, performed on social media platforms by visual
content. The act of producing visual content has become the rite of
sacredness itself.
The “Chapel of
the Sacred Self” is trying to redefine sacred architecture as something to
be explored and experienced in a contemporary way, acknowledging new means of
observing, interacting, and identifying in architectural space.
