A Place of Worship: An Architecture Celebrating the Interconnectedness of God, Nature, and Man

Abstract

This thesis, A Place of Worship, began with particular ideas for the architectural programme. A site was sought in which green design could be implemented for passive solar and water usage. It became apparent that a more important understanding was to be gained: How does an architect touch a site that already has amazing beauty and spiritual voice? Through this work, the answers to this question were lived-out.
