The Legend

The Temple will be dedicated to Aphrodite — the goddess of love and fertility, who, according to ancient myth, was born from the sea foam on the shores of Cyprus

In its form, the Temple pays homage to the timeless grace of ancient Greek architecture. Its proportions follow the strict harmony of the Corinthian order. Even the fluting of the columns and the rhythm of the pediment’s triglyphs are reimagined in a minimalist wooden expression, giving the classical form a sense of warmth and lightness

The Temple will rise at the very summit of the mountain, where the gathering will take place — above the clouds, on the windswept stone plateau — a sanctuary suspended between earth and sky.
