The article is intended to set up the philosophical and theoretical background which shall be the fundamental idea of an architectural project. The successive transitions both during life and after death of the body of Saint John the Russian – a recently canonized saint by the Orthodox Church - are considered the starting point of the analysis. A new way of veneration is attempted to be designed, a new convention of meeting with the Saint’s body. The historically recorded transitions of the saint’s body are analyzed and linked to their contemporary philosophical and sociological context. The analysis touches on the philosophical ideas of Michel Foucault, Jean Baudrilliard, and Jean-Pierre Vernant and engages the philosophies of Henri Bergson and Gilles Deleuze where the ideas of the embodied memory and the cinematic perception of time are developed. The research aims to construct the foundation on which the architectural idea of the design of a space and time experience can be established.References
