Michael Jantzen’s M-velope
A personal meditation space.
“It was created to provide a special place in which to meditate. The shape and interior light quality of the M-velope can be changed by folding the surface of the structure into many different combinations. Each plane of the surface of the structure is covered with panels that are subdivided in different ways. These panels are hinged to each other, and to the main support frame. Each panel can be moved and easily attached to the main support frame with pins at two locations. The entire structure is prefabricated so it can be easily transported to, and assembled onto almost any site. A small solar panel can be mounted onto the M-velope, or nearby, if power is needed for lights, small appliances etc.”

hegelian dialectic: cohabitation
thesis: two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
antithesis: religion, ritual, ethics, superstition – these ideas in combination are not defined by the collective, because in combination, every person on earth has unique belief.
synthesis: this is the root of all human conflict. the only solution is cohabitation of beliefs, in order to create a space that attempts to enlighten through greater world view. to be something that allows for all beliefs.
