A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The Salt Chapel invokes the sacral potentiality latent in the natural landscape of Utah's Great Salt Lake Basin. This theoretical project parses that landscape's phenomena, advocating for the singularity of the essences that inhere within a severe terrain composed of salt flats and shallows. A contemplative spatial enclosure, the Salt Chapel is dedicated to salt—nature's most ubiquitous, fragile, and “humble” of mineralogical crystals. As a mobile structure, the chapel celebrates the distinct character of the lake's endlessly shifting shoreline of super-saline water.
