Cathedral of Creation
The “Cathedral of Creation” aims to fuse the gothic grandeur of the past with a contemporary design for manufacturing and assembly. Through its delicately sculpted modular design, the project creates sacred space by rekindling a once vibrant legacy of catholic architectural innovation.

Floor plan sequence based off of the days of creation.
The church is based on a modular geometry tied to the days of creation.
The modules have slight variations and are aggregated accordingly.
Sectional perspective cutting through the side chapels showing the modular structure.
A 1:25 prototype of module m1 is cast from a concrete base, plywood floors and walls, and a roasted ash primary structure.
The hyperbolic structure is laser cut out of plywood, with the ash primary structure.
Curved 3D printed panels are hung from the laser cut plywood.
