In the past, roadside shrines were orientation points, both literally and figuratively. In Poland shrines are still often encountered.
As places of prayer and contemplation they helped people restore a sense of spiritual balance. The cross would typically be situated at their most central point. Around it, there would usually be a fence, separating the sacrum from the profanum.
In this project of the roadside shrine in Bronowice (Poland) architects from medusagroup reversed this perspective by raising its open-work fencing above the height of the roadside cross itself.
As a very important design aspect, light was let inside the shrine through the open-work, corten-steel bars, with square-shaped cross-section.
