Chiostro Illuminato Installation / STUDIO TEPHRA
Briefly

The Chiostro Illuminato is a microarchitecture project near the Convent of Mount Illuminato that embodies the Franciscan principles of simplicity and nature connection. Inspired by Saint Francis's miracle, it features essential elements like a wooden colonnade and jute walls that reflect the surrounding fields. Visitors experience a transformative journey through the installation, from an entrance that alters visual perception to a contemplative patio, and an exit that opens to the natural landscape. At twilight, the space becomes a refuge, merging spirituality and sensory experiences.
In the dance of wind and light, the Chiostro Illuminato weaves a new connection between earth and spirituality.
The project metamorphoses at twilight, when Italian light tints the walls orange, forming a refuge where light, freshness, and nature intertwine.
