Precessional Development
The architectural process begins by completing the unfinished geometry of the original monastery, tracing its spatial logic to uncover the primordial philosophies embedded in its design. These underlying principles guide key interventions: for instance, the central dome is inverted to form an amphitheatre, transforming a space once reserved for divine authority into one of civic dialogue and informal public gathering. Additionally, the existing bell tower serves as a historical anchor, its presence echoed and reinterpreted in the new Movement Tower – symbolically a larger bell tower, functioning as a wake-up call for the city. Not one that signals prayer, but urgency, transition, and collective action.
