What should be the design methodology in creating a sacred place in cyberspace? I have chosen to apply Le Corbusier’s approach to designing Sainte Maria de la Tourette. It is an inspiring architecture that successfully evokes a profound emotional response in visitors. Understanding Le Corbusier’s process of studying a medieval monastery of Le Thoronnet, articulating its essential architectural qualities for the 20th century technology, and responding to a radically different site condition suggests an approach to design for yet another different condition - cyberspace.
