ARCHITECTURE FOR SECULAR SPIRITUAL PROJECTION

WISHING
NICHE

For people who do not identify with religion, moments of prayer, wishing, remorse, anxiety, or hope still occur. WISHING NICHE asks whether architecture can offer a spatial anchor for those inner projections toward an unnamed invisible presence. The interface is organized around seven states people often seek through prayer or confession.

WISHING NICHE

A spatial prototype for secular subjects. It does not construct a fixed object of belief, but offers an architectural interface that receives, translates, and responds to inner spiritual demands.
