We have looked at many different buildings throughout this course already, and you can find countless resemblances to ancient architecture around the city. For this assignment I wanted to look at something we have studied that was unique in that you can find too many replications or connections in Boston. Being so close to the Christian Science Center, the reflecting pool is a space I have encountered and experienced many times, however after recently studying Ise Jingu, I made a new connection to the reflection pool. The reflecting pool very closely resembles the body of water that is used in ritual ceremonies along the path to Naiku. Not only do both of these spaces look the same, but achieve the same state of being when experienced. Although the purposes of these two spaces may be different, the same essence of serenity and peacefulness is given.
