When the city builds itself from a vertical core, it becomes the founding pilar of society. This is where traditional lifestyle is preserved, unchanged from the events outside these walls for centuries. With limited earth, the solution is to build up - however no matter how high it becomes, it nevers deviates from the city’s first streets down below. Cultural trading areas network outside into the towers and protects the very sacred routine of public bathing and self reflection. Without these public bath spaces, the city would be disrupted, confused and unsure of its identity. It needs to be protected.

“Though, at some point, the profane becomes sacred and the sacred returns to be profane...”

Stairs cutting in and out of multiple programmatic spaces at the same time, twisting in height. Trading and commerce placed in dense network that allows in plentitude and variety, every intricacy can be found if you have the will to look for it.

It keeps on carving, growing deeper in detail. Then the same stairs, brings you into the common bath space.

The catharsis experienced by Zabriskie Point, has found itself embedded in the Temple City as a framing of the sky in an otherwise overpopulated and dense urban fabric.
