Stacks + Slants

core I, fall 2023

This was a proposed spiritual and community center balanced on a small slope in Rotterdam, Netherlands. The ground floor serves as administrative and study spaces while the second floor - a long, tilted bridge - is dedicated to collaborative meditation and activities. Slips of light peek through a concrete monolith, creating a sublime effect. The apertures piercing through the walls and floors frame the views of the ground, canopy, and sky. The paths around and through the center contrast with the austere center, weaving through the lush landscape and tying everything together.
