investigating concave and convex extrusions along an oval path to generate glam walls

| | Comments (2)
Baroque buildings used a combination of concave and convex curves to direct movement through a space. Similarly, the glamorous church uses concave extrusions, along an oval path (as the space within an oval is considered to be heavenly), to define areas where the sacraments take place, and convex extrusions along an oval path, to define where circulation occurs. The transformational spaces are ordered hierarchically moving towards spaces of increased intensity.

The height of the spaces are also determined in accordance with this sacramental hierarchy. Larger spaces denote the importance of the sacrament.
