| The cloister
will be an enclosed space adjoining St Andrew's
Cathedral in the heart of Glasgow.
The paved and grassed central area will
contain a modem monument of large, mirrored
plinths on which will be inscribed verses
from the scriptures and from the Italian
poets.
Visitors will be able to wander through
the construction, reflecting on their own
lives in the context of the words of Sacred
Scripture.
A water feature will run through the garden,
fountains will flow around it and an olive
tree - symbolizing peace - will be planted
at its heart.
The surrounding cloister itself will be
wide and accommodating, offering space for
gatherings, exhibitions, cafe facilities
and meeting rooms.
Roman Architect Giulia Chiarini has designed
the area as a space for memory, reflection
and as a monument to reconciliation.
