“Church” of Science?


In a time of change of culture and vast cultural diversity, with branches from all religious backgrounds converging at a new human frontier. A belief in science. Atheism is a byproduct of this. A categorizing of people with these contemporary  scientific views, but why must there be the separation of spirituality, religion and science.

1. There is a overwhelming amount of spiritual satisfaction to be found in scientific knowledge.

2. There need not be absolutes of personal spiritual belief.

3. Nature as we understand/experience it  [and the science of it] is a result of evolution, never before have human been at this frontier of understanding on such a public scale. Take history for what it is, and take a step in an better more wholesome and sustainable (to society and the individual) direction.

This project will aim to break down the religious boundaries that dwell in today's cultural diversity. We (as Brisbane's/Australia's/westernized  maturing culture), at large have gotten over racial issues in terms of physical differences, and acknowledged cultural differences, but we lack a common tie, that rejects the dispositions of juxtaposing cultures. One of the few of these common ties is nature. It is why we are all here, as a species on this planet. The laws of nature (and of this universe) permit it. I am confident in the capabilities of this fundamental scientific knowledge to be passively integrated into a space not dis-similar to a contemporary  versatile place of 'worship'. Not meaning 'worship' to hold any one specific religious connotation, but an adaptive one, tied only to nature, any human, and their desire for spiritual fulfillment. It will be a versatile space with a need to supply a range of experiences, from commity to solitude. Any where from Scientific to spiritual. Very passively will these principles be conveyed through suggestive architecture that both aesthetically and conceptually reflects the stated theory. There is a fine balance between being inivative  and insulting. As a multicultural space, it is important to not insult anyone due to ignorance or discrimination.

To best describe the desired philosophy, it helps me to think of a hypothetical sustainable budist/atheist. Now create a collaborated physical manifestation of the social morals bestow by such a believer.
