The article describes a secular ceremonial space in Baja California Sur, designed to harmonize with its desert surroundings. Semi-buried and circular, the structure embodies a connection to the land and sky. Composed of a concrete ring, its bare earth floor and open ceiling enhance the spiritual ambiance, while allowing for natural light changes throughout the day. The structure’s orientation aligns along an east-west axis, framing breathtaking views of the mountains and sky, reinforcing the dialogue between the built environment and its natural context.
The circular enclosure is semi-buried in the ground, symbolizing its integration with the surrounding landscape and, at the same time, presenting itself as a discreet intervention in the desert.
The space is primarily composed of a concrete ring, with a bare earth floor that exposes the natural soil and an open sky ceiling, thus reinforcing a transcendental connection with the land and the cosmos.
