FAITH PARK
Our proposal for Faith Park is founded on the belief that landscape and architecture can be powerful tools for fostering unity, understanding, and spiritual transcendence. At the heart of our design is an elevated sacred scroll, a symbolic path that winds through the park, offering visitors a meditative journey above the land. This path represents both a higher place and a shared journey, where all faiths converge and find their connection to one another and the natural world. The path, made of steel, allows the surrounding landscape to flow beneath it, preserving the purity of the environment while providing a space for reflection, dialogue, and interfaith engagement.
Our design draws inspiration from the landscape descriptions found in sacred texts, as well as the rich cultural heritage of Albania, which has long been a symbol of religious coexistence. The scroll not only symbolizes the diversity of faiths and cultures but also represents purity, peace, and unity. The elevated pavilions, positioned along the ribbon, create a seamless experience for visitors, ensuring that each space is respected, and the surrounding environment is left undisturbed. The design is both inclusive and sustainable, fostering a spiritual connection to nature while offering spaces for both solitary contemplation and communal gathering.
OUR APPROACH
We are committed to creating a park that is not only an architectural and landscape achievement but a place that speaks to the soul and invites all who enter to reflect, connect, and engage. Our approach is centered on environmental sustainability and spiritual inclusivity. The elevated scroll will integrate sacred plant species, such as the olive, pomegranate, and jujube, which hold significance in the Abrahamic faiths, ensuring that the park is both a living tribute to these traditions and a model for ecological stewardship.
By focusing on inclusive design, we have ensured that all ages, nationalities, and faiths will find spaces within the park to reflect, learn, and engage. The park’s design incorporates cultural and educational programming, interfaith dialogue areas, spiritual wellness retreats, and year-round activation, ensuring that it becomes a vibrant destination for both local and international visitors.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our team brings a wealth of experience in creating transformative landscapes and architectural projects that blend nature, culture, and spirituality. We are dedicated to ensuring that the design is context-sensitive, sustainable, and deeply connected to Albania’s rich religious and cultural history. The proposed solution will not only meet the competition requirements but will create a lasting monument to unity, peace, and interfaith coexistence.
