The Shape of Rituals stems from the need to rethink how spirituality manifests itself in contemporary public spaces. In a society where different religious identities coexist in neutral contexts, the project proposes to recognise and enhance ritual practices, without annulling their specificity.
At the centre is the concept of the threshold: a space of passage and encounter between the body and the sacred, capable of accommodating gestures and symbols specific to each faith. Thresholds become microcosms that foster awareness before prayer. T
he project argues that religious coexistence does not require neutralisation, but can be based on a respectful juxtaposition of different traditions. The Shape of Rituals is not just an idea of sacred space, but a reflection on the value of ritual, the human need for belonging and the role of presence in shared places.
