Across terraces of vivid green, the form ascends like a metallic organism. Each module turns, locks, and opens until it reaches a suspended ring, a portal of symmetry breathing with the mountain mist. In the video, the structure pulses; geometry rearranges itself, and the landscape seems to follow its rhythm.
The body of the temple is composed of crystallized bismuth, a metallic element (atomic number 83) that, when slowly cooled after melting, crystallizes into tiered structures of iridescent brilliance. Its shifting tones, blue, green, gold, and violet, emerge from a thin layer of natural oxide rather than pigment. Though not classified as a gemstone, it is valued as an alchemical and laboratory crystal, a symbol of transmutation. In hermetic tradition, bismuth embodies matter in transition, the mineral intelligence that transforms itself. It is known as the metal of geometric rebirth , from amorphous density arises the perfect, ascending, infinite form. It is linked to the energy of the inner portal, the spirit’s journey through levels of consciousness; its fractal architecture can be seen as a map of the soul expanding toward unity.
The work expresses the principle of self-organization that defines Alchytecture, a structure born from its own logic. Its materiality oscillates between the mineral and the technological, the earthly and the ethereal, the scientific and the mystical. By nature and intention, it can be understood as a stone of consciousness, a gem of structural intelligence.
Architecturally, the temple functions as a diagram of resonance. Metallic edges conduct sky and water; mist becomes aura, mountain becomes foundation, air becomes thought. As the structure opens and forms the central ring, the image of a living threshold appears, form attains clarity, and space becomes aware.
Light thinks itself into form.
