manifesto update

Church is loud. Church itself was a story of God and Saints.

Loud church is filled with stories.

-Past (images in church told stories)

A Church used to tell many stories of God and saints. It was used as a medium to tell stories.  Paintings sculptures told stories with emotions; happiness, joy, fear,sadness.

-Present time

Images in churches lost their voices.

We are saturated by images. The images become mere record of an event rather than telling a story and deliver imagination and emotions.

- Story of god

Church should be loud and filled with story of people.

It is based on the fact that all individual life can be a story of God. These contain joy, sadness, happiness and bitterness of life.

-Individual story

Telling a story in a church can take different method.

It can take a form of a speech, conversation, singing, prayer.

-Collection of stories

The collective sound of individual story will make a church loud. It can be a cacophony of voices that will provide background for meditation, different type of meditation. It could be a practice to meditate or think about yourself in a life outside church. The noise of hectic life, loudness of city is a part of contemporary city life. Loud church provide a buffer zone between holy communion and outside world. It is also transitional space from noisy outside world to inside church.  And it is designed in a hope that blasé people will start listen again and find a meaning from noise.
