Torah ark
Congregation Beth Israel
Portland, Oregon |
The basic shape of Temple Beth Israel's chapel
is an octagon two stories high. Our aim was to create a unified, spiritually
heightened, worship space accessible to all and embracing to those who
come to pray. Our design motif was extrapolated from this form with the
use of curved embracing lines. The bema was designed to allow access to
the ark, which is wall mounted and has a floating effect. The lines of
the ark lead the worshippers' eyes to the eternal light and to the Hebrew
phrase above the ark.
Jury: The simple, yet rich and distinctively flowing lines are uplifting,
and the composition emphasizes the sense of dignity and reverence. |
