This image shows the Glass Pavilion at Bangkok, a contemporary meditation space with traditional temple motifs. At mid-day, light funnels through glass openings of a pyramidal roof, creating temporary illuminated steps on the floor which converge with all leading lines of the symmetrical space to a centre, guiding curious worshippers with geometric paths of enlightenment.
