A semester long pure-design thesis that focus on model making, material exploration and drawings to document the design. Design language is developed based on the development of two interested materials exploration as a design guideline to design a seminary and philosophy institute.

This institute stands as a bold testament to the transformative power of critical thinking and the pursuit of knowledge. The institution seeks to redefine the boundaries of religious discourse by embracing the principles of deconstructionism. Through the fusion of philosophy and theology, the design challenges the nature of religion, encouraging an exploration of belief systems and the deconstruction of traditional dogmas.

The design mirrors the institution's philosophical ethos. Drawing inspiration from deconstructionism, the structure stands as an embodiment of fragmentation and reconstruction, a physical representation of the intellectual journey undertaken within its walls. This designed environment fosters an environment that nurtures critical thinking and intellectual curiosity and allows innovative perspectives emerge. Here, scholars engage in rigorous debates, questioning established norms, and exploring the complex interplay between faith, reason, and human experience. The curriculum encompasses a wide array of subjects, including philosophy, theology, ethics, and comparative religion, inviting students to challenge their own beliefs and engage with diverse perspectives.
