The goal is to design a religious shrine that honors the Buddhist faith for the United States diversity initiative at the Statue of Liberty complex. This is a space where Buddhists are able to come and connect with the present moment and themselves, giving space to worship and reflect. This design will include an intentional fluid path that weaves around the center, offering worshipers a peaceful and centering path, preparing them to meditate and to achieve enlightenment within the shrine. This project will integrate the teachings of Buddhism within the architecture through water, openness, and calmness.
