Meeting house in the countryside

The aim of this semestral work is to create object(s) on a designated plot of land, which would serve as a place of worship and a place that will find its regular visitors.

It is a five-pointed shelter – a “temple” with arcades allowing access from five sides. This design is based on natural materials so as not to disturb the surrounding landscape. Therefore, branches are used – mainly made of acacia, for its strength and durability. The floor in the shape of a circle, in which the object is set centrally, is covered with a threshing floor. The central point inside this temple is a large stone fireplace, used for rituals, ceremonies. Or just to make sitting more pleasant – on chairs that will be made of cut parts of a tree trunk.
