Nonsa. Urban Spaces as Activators of Spiritual Intelligence

The word Nonsa refers to urban spaces that function as activators of spiritual intelligence. They could be called “churches that don’t know they are churches.” They share a sense of calm, more than a religious doctrine. They are spaces that connect you with another part of yourself, one that is generally difficult to touch.

The study of Nonsa is based on ten points, known as the “Decalogue of Spirituality.”

  1. A closed garden
  2. Architectural flow
  3. Sensorial balance
  4. Two entry points and two exit points
  5. The presence of water and stone
  6. The presence of nature and animals
  7. Temporal distortion
  8. Contrast and surprise
  9. A secondary effect
  10. Distortion of self-awareness

A series of objects have been designed that function in the same way as the Nonsa, but relating to making and unmaking, based on the concept of open awareness. These objects are also portable, helping to make a spiritual experience possible practically anywhere. They are designed based on a series of Nonsa that I identified in Barcelona, visualized from different apertures.
