Spiral Sanctuary:: A New Cathedral for Vienna
In response to lower church attendance and social trends toward mass customization, this cathedral has been divided into 5 smaller, more intimate spaces that allow the individual to have their own journey. Each node or tower takes one from a dark narrow space up a spiraling ramp towards a light open space. During the slow, meditative walk towards the sky one experiences the layering of different skins, views of the city, and a juxtaposition of quiet, still spaces with spaces of transition and movement.
