City, Contemporaneity, and Introspection.
Palace of Prayer
The project is driven by the intention to reclaim light in a city of gorges and bring it into focus, in its most immaculate and natural state, serving as a habitation for the spirituality of prayer of a contemporary generation, detached from symbolism, with eyes set on an uncertain and exciting future.
The palace materializes as a winding, ascending journey through it, the boundary between volumes of pure light and the dark curtain that subjects them, delivering it to the realm of tranquility, truly making it a chamber of spirituality. The project is a continuous play of perspectives, perceptions, and chiaroscuros with the aim of serving, not only a new understanding of the city's public space, in its more collective sense, but also of the individuality of the subject within it.
