PROJECT #4

Art Cathedral / Finalist Mention

YAC International Architectural Competition / 2023

The organic-shaped volume captures the undulating terrain belonging to the medieval cathedral. However, even passing over some parts of the ruins, this structure does not disturb the existing relict, but creates a dialog. The organic shell is highlighted by a translucent skin of ETFE triangle panels, revealing its inner working and contrasting the light metal structures to the brutalist gothic ruins of Kells. The highest point of the building, the auditorium hemisphere, does not exceed the highest tower of the ruins, but remains visible from an entire perspective as a part of organic luminous form.
