Groups
of conical towers surround and obscure a courtyard, in the center of which
rises a grand stupah. The courtyard is accessible through alleyways between
the towers, creating a feeling density and furthering the illusion that
you have taken an adventure into another land. The conical towers are
built from a series of wooden hoops, lumber and small uniform pieces of
white fabric, creating elegant, vertical, catalytic curves. Each tower
is a variation based on the theme of curves.

Since
ancient times humans have gathered together in worship, seeking to touch
spirit, to feel inspired, and to receive the divine. In their era, the
great Gothic cathedrals were ultimate symbols of hope and fear in the
future -- the hope of a New Jerusalem that awaited the faithful, and the
fear of eternal punishment and Armageddon. In the history of our western
culture, the cathedral remains as a timeless embodiment of place for spiritual
gathering and primary religious experiences. Our vision of Cathedral,
as well as for faith and worship in the future, retains the qualities
of communion with the divine, but we envision it also as a place for any
to worship as they please, side by side in harmony, mutual respect and
tolerance, without dogmatic conflict or even need for dogma. Our Cathedral
is the physical expression of this hope, and an opportunity for a living
practice of these beliefs. The Cathedral aspires to inspire all BRC residents
to participate and interact with it; to generate ritual, ceremony, and
art; to dance, celebrate, and surrender; to experience joy, communion,
and spirit; to play together in laughter, fun, and silliness.
