ARCHITECTURAL RITES

This project started by looking at case studies that had explicitly ritual spaces and diagraming them. Afterwards I looked at what I influenced the ritual spaces and created models it and photographed them. We went on to look at movies where the architecture or the set influenced the mood of the scene. From there, the studio looked into mundane rituals and I selected to look at a coffee shop ritual.

​

I designed the coffee shop using what I learned from the case studies and movies. I focused on how the person entered the coffee shop, creating a cozy area that has natural lighting and designing a place where you can be in solitude. Within these spaces, I focused on photographing the spaces that are similar to the case studies. These photos I took focused on the daily life of a student going to a coffee shop.
