2 ACSA STEEL COMPETITION: SPIRITUAL
SPACE
ARCH 255/255L - 2ND YEAR
BUILDING STUDIO - SPRING 2022
In collaboration with Kadyn Hopkins, Arlyn Rodriguez, and Zareen Badita
Instructors: Nesrine Mansour, Somaye Seddighikhavidak, and Mohammadmehdi Danesh
Site: Brookings, SD 57007
Project Description:
This project, part of the ACSA 2023 Steel Design Competition, aims to create a welcoming campus space for worship, meditation, learning, and fellowship. Our design, ‘Aetherial,’ is a weightless, fluid structure that unites spirituality by harmonizing with its surroundings through the four elements of the universe. Flowing curves on the site represent wind and water, layered roof forms evoke earth, sunlight streaming through glass symbolizes fire, and calming water on the site encourages reflection. Blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior, it creates spiritual connection, unity, and personal growth within the community.
