Church of Design

There are many projects in the recent history of design, which have certain spiritual qualities to them next to practicality and beauty, with design taking on new fields of problems. I would find it interesting to curate them as if they are parts of an existing religion. They don’t differ much in the qualities of existing religious habits but have their own language and accessibility. It is interesting, that all religious rituals were created at some point only in reference to the traditional texts, but not directly described in them. In this way they were also pretty randomly designed according to the needs of the time they were designed in (confession for example). In a way they are not even specifically connected to the believe in a deity. Why not just create new ones according to our time?
