ULTIMA TEMPLUM (from Latin: “the last temple”) is a post-apocalyptic shelter project located in the abandoned block of the Reading Thermal Power Plant, where the monumental building itself is only one element of inspiration. ULTIMA TEMPLUM transcends conservation and re-use aspirations, instead, it blurs the lines between architecture, music, film and mysticism. This is a project-reflection on the events taking place in the modern world as well as a glimpse into the future from the point of view of the project's creator. The design is driven by the principle "form follows emotion": numbers, areas, volumes, functions, and the specific location of the project have only a formal meaning to evoke an emotional response. This project does not provide any concrete solutions, but is intended to raise questions. ULTIMA TEMPLUM is a place where hope and despair are stuck together bonded by time.
