The practical part of the task is materialized in the form of a modern sound chapel, which does not have conventional religious connotations. The object of worship is man himself, with all his sensuality and awareness. The chapel acts as a point of neutralization in the center of the noise or hectic life in Ljubljana. It is intended for retreat and contemplation, which is encouraged by sound as the main material. It functions as a multi-sensory object, the purpose of which is to anchor a person in the present by encouraging a multi-sensory experience.
