The Sacred Cycle -Architecture as a Vessel of Light and Spiritual RenewalSiji, Serin 21 January 2025 (has links)
This thesis explores the integration of sacred space architecture with the symbolism of light and geometry to create a transcendent environment for reflection, healing, and spiritual awakening. Through precise sunpath alignments and the interplay of light and shadow, the design draws on the natural rhythms of the solstices and equinoxes to guide visitors on a journey of introspection and renewal. Key architectural elements, such as the 32 memorial columns representing the victims of the Virginia Tech tragedy, symbolize resilience and transcendence. The use of natural materials, filtered light, and sacred geometry enhances the space's meditative qualities, inviting a deeper connection to both the self and the surrounding environment. The project seeks to honor the past, while fostering healing and a renewed sense of spiritual connection. By merging nature, architecture, and light, this design creates a sanctuary that embodies the cyclical nature of life, offering a timeless space for contemplation and enlightenment. / Master of Architecture / This thesis explores the design of a sacred space that uses architecture, light, and natural materials to create a place for reflection, healing, and spiritual growth.
