The Sanctuary of Light
Elio Atallah — Concept design and site follow-up. A sacred setting for the Saint Ignatius Maloyan celebration at the Basilica of Harissa. The composition brings the altar, ceremonial imagery and congregation into a shared visual focus. Restrained geometry and warm light respond to the soaring interior, creating an atmosphere of reverence while preserving the architectural presence of the sanctuary.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Architecture, intent
and experience.
A sacred setting for the Saint Ignatius Maloyan celebration at the Basilica of Harissa. The composition brings the altar, ceremonial imagery and congregation into a shared visual focus. Restrained geometry and warm light respond to the soaring interior, creating an atmosphere of reverence while preserving the architectural presence of the sanctuary.
Elio Atallah — my contribution: I developed the sanctuary scenography, including Armenian-inspired carved panels, the cross centerpiece and portrait-display framing, and followed up on site on their integration with lighting, screens and the basilica. This design contribution was developed within my work with ICE International Events.
Collaboration: ICE International Events. Credits refer to the stated personal contribution within the wider project team, not sole authorship of the event or production.
