Truth: Wrapping

Lamp of Truth
handcrafted and honest display of materials and structure


The first idea of wrapping the Reims Cathedral, packing it into a box with controlled openings. Inverting the building making the exterior interior.

Wrapping strategies, which openings are to be seen on Reims Cathedral, according to their transparency.

By Cristo way of wrapping, the open parts of the facade would allow the daylight to be seen through even the building is completely wrapped. The irregular lines dividing the building into horizontal layers is appreciated by different layers of wrapping in this proposal.
