I have always believed “architecture should raise your soul to a higher spiritual level.” I’ve been fortunate to travel the world searching how to accomplish this. After spending time at monasteries in Nepal and India as well as visiting countless places of worship throughout Europe. I have come to understand that the environment where this is possible is “one that is large enough for silence to echo, yet small enough for intimacy to remain”.
