a cantilevered glass bridge, cast from an ancient volcanic basalt
formation into a sandstone fossil bed. Making a deep room in the earth
and a path from one landscape in time to another, from the Jurassic
to the Triassic period. In excavating formwork within the soft sandstone,
in which to cast the glass bridge, a paleontological dig is conducted.
A three hundred and fifty million year old history of the beginning

| Despite the fact
that the various spaces made on this site have been assigned specific
names related to a chapel and a museum, at a fundamental level both
are chapel and museum at once. They are places of contemplation, of
the world and ourselves. |
