This emerges from a growing sentiment that refusing to build is essential to saving our planet from the perils of a changing climate. The Womb Temple postulates that the most effective way to counteract this is by reverting to ancient building techniques using raw stone and live trees, a rebirth for the construction industry.<br>Transporting these materials to the Manchester site is deliberately slow and labour-intensive, relying on human power rather than machinery. This slower pace allows building to be treated as a ritualistic process - each stone placed annually becomes a celebration.</p><p>The temple not only revives traditional building methods but also encourages the reintroduction of nature into urban environments. It becomes a sanctuary for lost animal species and serves as a ritual space where people can spiritually reconnect with the moon, a symbol currently absent from the Manchester skyline, further affirming the renewed connection with nature and the element that governs water, the giver of life.</p><p>Graduate of Coventry University, Sasha was recently awarded the RIBA Award for Sustainable Design at Part 1 for her project “Womb Temple: Lunar Re-Birth”. The concept for this proposal was born from her passion for creating environments that support the symbiotic relationship between people and the earth holistically.</p><p>Sasha and Hossein will be speaking LIVE in the Daryll Forde, 2nd Floor of UCL Anthropology Dept, 14 Taviton St, London WC1H 0BW. Come in good time by 6:30pm before doors close please.
