Mental Stronghold

Spiritual strongholds are typically tall and large, often standing in publicly spacious areas. Smaller to medium-sized spiritual strongholds are at least 5 to 10 meters in height, while medium to large-sized ones can reach several tens of meters. Their actual dimensions are highly related to the architecture and context, and cannot be generalized. The unique names of spiritual strongholds are due to their rich cultural connotations and value, much of which is spiritual in nature, hence the name. During the design process, the considerations far exceed those of basic wayfinding signage, such as billboards and advertising light boxes, which do not require an excessive amount of cultural elements. However, spiritual strongholds are different; they can be a form of advertising or an extraction of the cultural values necessary for a specific context. They must be artistically imposing yet integral to the essential environment.
