Centre of Peace and Religion, London Design Competition - Winner | Architecture A prime example of THINK NATURE design. A green, carbon neutral building. The building is a religion centre, but of a different kind. It is a centre where all religions are welcome. The design is sculptural, offering each religion its own dedicated space for pray, as well as interactive areas welcoming all religions. All interactive areas are open plan and interconnect through a flowing movement (graduation of space, from larger to smaller and vice versa). The novelty of this design is that it brings together all religions under one roof to co-exist harmoniously. The project is the first competition Debbie Flevotomou Architects participated in and the design won first place. The project was featured on the Architect’s Journal. The internal areas are bright and atmospheric. Trees and internal gardens contribute to the relaxation and comfort of the atmosphere, directly connected with the Biophilic concept of nature in space. The design appears abstract, monumental and sculptural like a piece of art.
