The Bah\u00e1\u2018\u00ed Temple, located at the foot of the Andes\nMountains, east of Santiago de Chile, in South America, received the 2019\nInternational Prize from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC).\nDesigned by the Hariri Pontarini agency in Toronto, this temple is a place of\nmeditation open to everybody. It was designed to express a key principle of the\nBah\u00e1\u2019i Faith: unity in diversity. It has already welcomed more than\n1.7 million visitors since its opening in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hariri\nPontarini becomes the first Canadian agency to receive this prestigious,\nworld-renowned award. Awarded every two years, it celebrates an architecture\ndeemed \u201ctransformative in its social context and expressing the humanist values\nof justice, respect and equality. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flooded\nin light, the temple rotates on nine wings twisting and joining in a central\noculus at the top of the dome. The exterior of the building is made of molded\nglass panels, the interior is of translucent Portuguese marble. The whole\noffers a hypnotising show with light, materials and surface: at sunset, the\nlight captured in the dome goes from white to silver, and from ocher to purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the Bah\u00e1\u2018\u00ed temple, everything is done so that\nvisitors gather in the center. Wooden benches placed in a semicircle foster\nsilent contemplation. An alcove mezzanine offers a more intimate space, where\nyou can still rest in communion with all visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\ntemple sets on an important place in the Chilean community by hosting community\nclubs, youth assistance programs, activities for children in partnership with\npublic schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nconstruction of this structure had to deal with the harsh climate of the\nregion, subject to earthquakes for 400 years. This extraordinary challenge\ninvolved the hands of many engineers and craftsmen from Canada, United States,\nEurope, Chile as well as countless volunteers from around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The RAIC jury describes the building as “a gem in a spectacular natural setting” and comments: “The timeless result is inspiring, it is a building using the language of spaces, light, shapes and materials to express an interpretation of the Bah\u00e1\u2018\u00ed philosophy and lessons that becomes universally accessible as shared spiritual and emotional experience. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Bah\u00e1\u2018\u00ed Temple is more than a story of complex design, innovation, sustainability and construction, it is the embodiment of the aspirations and the belief of a community that, even in the 21st century, it is possible to respond to a human desire to gather together, connect and participate in something that moves the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
