'Synthetic Syncretism' is based upon the hybrid Cuban Santeria religion—a mixture between Catholicism, African Yoruba tribe beliefs and Sakralraum with animal sacrifices.

The project is a ceremonial processional funerary route through the city. Slotted inside an existing cross-shaped courtyard, the inverted 'Chapel of Our Lady de Regla' acts as an architectural, ritual, and cultural highlight.

Its formal and structural expression is provided by a series of designed Santerian relics held inside the Sacristy—skeletal and visceral utensils, 3D-modeled and 3D-printed in order to perfectly fit 3D-scanned animal bones.

With a plethora of means of representations not available to the analogue practice, the work provides an impeccable example of syncretism of contemporary CAD techniques and CAD/CAM technologies with historical architectural references, site-specific design narratives, and intuitive non-linear design processes. Although digitally driven, it does not succumb to the pervasiveness of parametric protocols. His portfolio is more than the display of extraordinary 3D modeling and rendering skills; it is a virtuoso performance of patience, precision, and tremendous creativity that re-enacts a challenging architectural conversation on ritualistic objects, pre-Modern typologies, and religious ornaments.
