7N OUVEAU CATEDRALE

Centro Poiesis / 2019 / Projectual Investigation

Proposal for NotreDame - Paris

As a symbol of antiquity and an aspiration to touch the sky, on the one hand by growing in height and on the other by the sustitution of big walls for huge windows that transform light into color, some investigations are carried out about the device “window”, synesthesia and the sensorial phenomenom of iridescence. The aim of the project will be bringing to the top the initial aspirations of the temple. In relation with the iridescent phenomenon, a mutable interior will be made in harmony with light and natural agents. To maximize the effect, the absolute nude of the cathedral is added to the proposal: the removal of all the walls and elements of the construction not necessary for its support . Minimum level of light obstruction and thus a formal exaltation of the connection with the sky. An ancient milestone is born.
