In our contemporary society, time is a neglected notion that man experiences without control. This project of extension/rehabilitation of the Priory of CAYAC, built in the 12th century, aims to reverse this situation. The architectural path offers spaces opening to spiritual elevation through the encounter of a site and its users. This set of cultural buildings combines spaces of encounter, exchange, culture and contemplation with the central point: the human being... Refocused, he experiences emotions, feelings and reconnects with his origins by transcending the boundaries of time.
