Samsara: the cycle of death & rebirth. The brief is to subtract, not build — so the temple is carved from the rock, never set upon it.
One module, flipped, becomes the realm of the dead. Where the two intersect, lit from above, the living & the dead meet — not to mourn, but to celebrate.
It extends Día de los Muertos into architecture. The site is read twice — once for its slope, once for its rain — so the temple never dams the water.
