For our next project brief we have a group assessment where we have to compile an audit of a space. From the list that we have been given, I’ve immediately found myself gravitating towards spiritual spaces (i.e. churches, cathedrals etc.)
The funny thing is, I’m not religious or anything. I do believe in there being some spiritual force or universal essence that is present over human life though. When I watch a film, or look at an artwork or listen to a piece of music, I sometimes find that it really affects me and gets me emotional. I think that exploring what makes religious spaces affecting or spiritually transcendent would be fascinating and enlightening.
