INNER BLOOM
The design touches the earth, and its materials are touched by light requiring a more detailed study. Bringing the terminology and practices identified in structures and building technology, this project will explore the technical aspects of bringing the sanctuary to life. Which methods work the best to keep the structure intact? How will light infiltrate and brighten the space? What materials will create the blank canvas for the artists to create?
