Ataraxia is a contemporary cultural pavilion within the 16th-century Serbian Orthodox Church complex in Sarajevo. The design honors the site's sacred heritage by preserving historical connections—passage, stairway, and courtyard—while reimagining arched forms as spatial elements. Through corten steel and stone, it unites the old and the new in a space of reflection and community, enhancing the site's role as a living part of the city’s spiritual and cultural fabric.
