all of the above are a little dark but try to show the latest developments with particular attention to the bridging between the main tower and the side tower next to it.  some images have none of the small mushroom chapels because they obscure the view of the edge conditions of the bridge surface.  in other images the mushrooms are transparent because they are placeholders for ones that will have much more articulation + deformation

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
