International Young Architects Design Competition | Ireland Meditation Mine Competition 2022 | Professional Designers under 35' | ARCHETYPE

It is a complex organism that had endured harsh conditions for centuries. From time to time it got damaged and numerous extensions were added. It contains traces of its past.

“The gothic cathedral one of the most powerful ARCHETYPES for contemporary  humanity-especially when in ruins.”

Archetypes are thought to be inherited in the collective unconscious, which is a concept in psychology that refers to the shared unconscious knowledge, memories, and impulses that are common to all humans.

As a general design approach, additions has been made to allow the historical to continue onwards in future. These additions were made by considering the past site condition and new function that can be added to the existing ruins. These were placed in such a way that they do not get in front of the old historical walls.
