| SACRED VEIL: Interior design of an existing church |
Velika Gorica 2005 - in progress - first prize |
|
| The interior of the existing church is burdened by the force of "aggressive" elements which detract a person's attention by defocusing and dispersion. This space therefore needed to be given a contemplative and sacred character. The proposal is all-encompassing and consists of a domed translucent membrane constructed out of cast polycarbonate and is structurally independent of the existing structure. This form integrates the dispersed internal space of the church and excludes elements which interfere with the feeling of concentration and peace. The effect of intensity, dispersion and supplementation of natural and artificial lighting through the "veil", all contribute to the desired sense of sacredness. |
