The atheist user of this space experiences a communion with
and acceptance of those forces of life which define human existence on Earth,
and engages in a soothing surrender to the way things are. The space for occupation is constructed on
the bottom of an inverted dome, with half walls rippling outward and upward
toward the entrance of the space, like the after effects of a droplet of water
falling into a pond, or of an air bubble which rises to its surface. The user, through architectural experience of
these energies in nature, is in turn empowered to be their own center.
This conceptual proposal for a sacred space for atheism
received honorable mention in a competition through the Socio Design
Foundation.
