project statement (draft)
(meta)tate/meander

meta: a prefix used to indicate a concept which is an abstraction from another concept
meditation: continued or extended thought; reflection; contemplation.
       devout religious contemplation or spiritual introspection.
meander: to proceed by or take a winding or indirect course

helical paths winding you upward, closer to god, to a space for worship but also the journey is the (clichéd) destination

nave and aisles transformed from the traditional rectilinear and horizontal paths to a vertical spiral, a more experiential ascension

spiritual core: negative space or the space in between as space that god fills, cannot be inhabited but can be seen

midterm

structure: how to support the strips
 
bracing top, perspective, side (with strips)

scale
 
tower = 120m, squat tower = 50m, smallest mushroom = 20m

site strategy: deforming the grid
 circulation in cathedral, site with nodes of disruption, proposed circulation on site

connecting via delamination
