subject: Religious pluralism; Religious architecture, Designs and plans; Sacred space; Interfaith worship

description: While society is being segregated, informally,every day by the violence of religious intolerance,it is important to provide safe havens for peoplewho want to express their religious beliefs freely.In an attempt to create a retreat for people whofeel as though they need to hide their religiouspreferences, the hope is that this structure will startto bridge the cultural gap as well. The welcomingarms of a sacred structure in which everyone canworship will not only allow people from any andall cultures to enter, but it will encourage them tolearn about other rituals that have been practicedthere in the past. A sacred space in which thetraditions and rituals of belief can actually shapethe environment will impact those lookingfor a safe haven, or just feed a curious mind.
