Architect Siamak Hariri, designed the Bahá'í Temple of South America. This sacred space is a stunning example of how he focused on illumination — from the temple's form, which captures the movement of the sun throughout the day, to the iridescent, luminous stone and glass used to construct it, with the mirrored invitation of 'As Above, So Below' water pool surrounding it.

These same elements: illumination, capturing the sun throughout the day, iridescence, luminous stone and glass... along with harmony with nature, flowering and edible plants, moving water, quite spaces and your own unique personal touch, all contribute to creating not only sanctuary but your own heaven on earth, your own intimate temple!
