This is my final thesis project for my RIBA pt.2, studying at Leeds Metropolitan University.NARRATIVE'A Place For Ceremony' is a purpose-built venue for ritual and ceremony in modern secular society. The aim of the project is to create a space that can be used for occasions, such as rites of passage, at which the feeling of gravitas normally associated with 'sacred spaces' is preserved without being specifically 'religious'. Historically, significant life events are always celebrated, with specific rituals. In an increasingly secular society, in which the 'religious' no longer feels appropriate to many people, 'A Place For Ceremony' will replace the Church, the Mosque and the Temple as commonplace for ceremonies.
