Caliz Linterna de Paz: Viviente Memorial

Located on Lagoon Sacpuy, Guatemala, the teak/bamboo 80x80m inverted pyramidal Caliz rising 35m, honours displaced, disappeared Maya peoples & refugees, reflecting Christ's chalice into living architecture seeking peace through design principles based on social/environmental/economic stewardship while continuing the work of the cross through architectural ministry. Its uniqueness lies in its complete reimagining of what memorial architecture can be—a living vessel actively serving the living and those before us. A vessel of redemption to serve as a body clothed by cultural arts/expressions, pioneering contemporary Maya architectural typology.
