Hey Archy!, I’m a sophomore in architecture and I’m very interested in spirituality and sustainable architecture. Do you know of any architects that specifically design their spaces to be sanctuaries? I’m in love with your blog by the way! The positive energy shared here is amazing💗💗

Thanks for your kind words!

A sanctuary is a place of refuge or safety, but not necessary a place of worship. After thinking about this question for a couple of days I can think of no better example than Tadao Ando (even if many followers might already be sick and tired of me featuring his work). Here are some of his projects from a house to a church that convey, IN MY OPINION, the feeling of a sanctuary:

Water Temple

Church on the Water

Benesse House

Koshino House

Shiba Ryotaro Museum

Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art

Qatar National Library by OMA 

 The Library by Rem Koolhaas

The physical impact of books has been important in terms of my entire formation. The first books that fascinated me were the fairy tales of Grim illustrated by Gustave Doré. I still remember the physical nature of those books as one of the strongest memories of my entire life. In the 1950s I would spend time in the library of the Stedelijk Museum – almost like in a living room. My first intersection of writing and architecture was Delirious New York, which I wrote in the New York Public Library, going through microfilms, old newspapers, and books. I made one particular seat my own, almost day and night.

One similarity between architecture and bookmaking is that both have unbelievably long traditions but are also forced to be of the moment, constantly updating in order to survive. We have designed many libraries and built a few. Libraries, as a typology, are so exceptionally suitable to produce radical architecture. Apparently, there is a paradox that such a traditional form produces inventive solutions, and that is the case for the Qatar National Library. The building is 138 meters long, equivalent to the length of two 747s. This is not to boast about scale but because from the beginning the idea was to make reading as accessible and as stimulating as possible to the population of Qatar as a whole. We thought we could achieve that by creating a building that was almost a single room, not divided in different sections, certainly not into separate floors.

We took a plate and folded its corners up to create terraces for the books, but also to enable access in the center of the room. You emerge immediately surrounded by literally every book – all physically present, visible, and accessible, without any particular effort. The library is a space that could contain an entire population, and also an entire population of books…
