In this project, I designed a 12’x12’ outdoor space for people to experience the earth. The design draws inspiration from the ancient symbol of the Priestly Blessing Hands, a Jewish motif with roots tracing back to biblical times. The structure sits four feet into the ground and the stairs are flanked with benches on either side. It has a dirt floor and rammed earth in the open corner. While sitting on the benches, a persons’ eyes will be directly in line with the ground that surrounds them.
This structure is designed to immerse the user in the embrace of the wind. It has four spinners that take the shape of the overall plan of the structure. It is made partially from aromatic red cedar, amplifying the wind with a sense of smell. In its entirety, this sacred space orchestrates a multi-sensory engagement, inviting occupants to hear the whispers of the wind, smell the aromatic red cedar, feel the subtle shifts in atmosphere, and witness the interplay of light and shadow.
his structure is designed to enhance the element of re. t the heart of the cube lies a grand circular re pit, ser ing as the main focal point. uspended abo e the pit, a ring crafted from plated gold reflects and ampli es the re s luminance. ncircling the flames are columns that seamlessl transition into benches. he cube harnesses geometr tranforming from a cube, to triangular columns, to an octagonal floor and ceiling, and then a c lindrical oid in the center.
