The Judgement

Project details

Programme
Unit UG11
Year 2

In an alternate realm, the Houses of Parliament were envious of Westminster Abbey’s glory and wealth. The narrative is set in a period where the people were brainwashed by religion and controlled by the power of the church.

River Thames and the Elizabeth Tower, both representing the notion of navigation and trading, belonged to the Houses of Parliament. Westminster Abbey, therefore, sought to monopolise the Westminster trading system and dominate the Houses of Parliament.

The resultant architecture accommodates verbal conflict. By casting intangible shadows into tangible spaces where the circulation is intimate, the debaters wait for their fate as the judgment begins.

Parliament falls, but the indolent king is willing to splash out on a monumental space to petrify the other party. The church, on the other hand, is filthy rich, full of deception and manipulation. The architecture is designed with the notion of the church coaxing parliament into the creation of this space of judgement.
