Dual Church for Haiti A Christian and A Voodoo Church In a city of debris; On the ruins of the Christian Cathedral in the city of Port au Prince, a church for Haitian Voodoo is built with an architectural language of slams: wicked, whoopee, and spontaneous; The cathedral is wicked by the fallen choir and south transept.

They scored a mixture of ‘Christian spaces’ and ‘Voodoo spaces’ on the ground.
