“A rchi t ect ure is a visu a l a r t a n d th e bui l di ngs sp ea k f or th emselves” - Julia Morgan

P ROJ ECT I NT E N T
Building Bridges is a place designed to welcome people from all walks of life. This project creates a safe place for worship while also showcasing the strength and beauty of steel. The building takes the form of an extruded “L”, divided into three sections;
administration, spiritual gathering, and meditation. These three
sections allow for exciting architectural moments and chances for
encounter. The long leg of the “L” is extended in order to become a cantilevered bridge, thus creating a sculptural statement within the surrounding campus’s landscape; spiritual journey.
