ARCHITECTURAL COMPUTING CHALLENGE: To explore and illustrate the state of decay, structural failure, materiality, abandonment of an important piece of architecture, 100 years after the end of human life on earth.
Concept/ Approach
I want to portray the Church of the Light in a unique and distinctive way, in order to do so, I came up with the idea of a world lost due to global warming ( or a similar issue that would result in a change of water level). The water level would be a few metres higher than the roof of the building.
My video will focus more on the state of decay, structural failure, and materiality, than the cause of it. This is simply because that's the criteria of the challenge.
I imagine that the water level would have raised gradually over time, taking a month or so for it to completely cover the church.
Since it has spiritual value, people would find a way to prevent the flood from affecting the church, such as covering the doors with wood, metal sheets.
