EMOTIONAL PARASITE
Multi-faith-space and meditation environment
During the pandemic time, anxiety and depression surged with precipitously rosed Covid cases. We are unable to meet with a group of friends or hang out without a mask. In this case, there should be a silent place where we can release our negative emotions and rebuild ourselves with social distance in an emotional parasite.
The site will be located in What Cheer Studio of RISD, and the old building will be adaptively reused, bringing it a new geometric exoskeleton. Whether having faith or not, people from different backgrounds yet suffered from the same pandemic could equally enjoy a meditation time to refind their inner peace in this space.
