Abstract
There is a need for a universally sacred place in which culturally diverse groups feel comfortable grieving together.In order to understand how to create universal experiences through architecture, research will be conducted in the area of phenomenology.Examples of spatial characteristics used in a successful sacred design are mystery, tranquility, and sanctity.Further literature research into the process of dying and the experience of grieving will inform design strategies.Additional investigation in the form of precedent analysis will examine places that are considered sacred and appropriate for mourning.The conjecture is that it is possible to create a poetic architectural language that can be developed into a sacred place where people can grieve both as a community and individually.A building design will be produced on a specific site, presented in models and drawings, and described in a critical essay.The goal of this project is to produce a source for those interested in universally sacred design.i After graduating in 2000, I moved into the dorms at the University of Cincinnati.Here, I drifted further away from Catholicism, replacing it with an interest in other religions, especially Eastern philosophies.Now it seems every place I visit, from Denmark to Montreal, Paris to San Francisco, the buildings I find most interesting and enjoyable are churches.It is not surprising that I want to design sacred places that people of all dominations can equally enjoy.In visiting and critiquing these sacred places, I began to see a need.As impressive as each building is, I always encountered a strange feeling of sterility.Each church had compartmentalized itself, wanting little to do with other religious groups.This approach seems backwards in this time of global communities when the world should embrace its cultural differences.Therefore, a need to somehow link all these diverse groups together emerged.The link that ties all of humanity together is that of inevitable death.This undeniable constant is a good starting point from which universal sacredness can grow.We all live together; we all die.By creating a place where we can come together after a death and grieve as a community, we will be able to bridge these cultural gaps in the acts of supporting, healing, comforting, and learning from each other.In this, we will be able to see all people as equals who face the same fears and the same inevitable end.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
