Urban Sanctuary

This project proposes religious and natural sound in order to amplify the sense of sanctuary in the small alleyway and stimulate auditory sense as compared with over-stimulations in urban space. 
The small alleyway has remarkable features to be perceived and enhanced. First of all, the darkness dominating this space brings tranquility, reduces visual information, and amplifies other senses, especially auditory sense. Secondly, this tranquility atmosphere has many similarities to sanctuary in certain countries in terms of sensory experience. Finally, the alleyway as sanctuary has value to be utilised as temporary shelter form prompts in urban space.
Consequently, this space worked as sanctuary, in other word, shelter from excessive information in urban space.
