"I became acquainted with the science of anatomy: but this was not sufficient; I must also observe the natural decay and corruption of the human body. In my education my father had taken the greatest precautions that my mind should be impressed with no supernatural horrors. I do not ever remember to have trembled at a tale of superstition, or to have feared the apparition of a spirit.Darkness had no effect upon my fancy; and a churchyard was to me merely the receptacle of bodies deprived of life, which, from being the seat of beauty and strength, had become food for the worm."
-Mary Shelley

I think that the comments suggesting a greater exploration of the interior spatial possibilities of your cells is a good direction to travel. On that note, the interior/exterior relationship should be explored through detailed and expressive drawings. Drawings that describe the thickness of the cell, what provides the structure that allows for an interior space, what makes up the interior, is it full, empty, porous, laced... Please do not use camera cut sections for the presentation of the section in the future, the flatness and lack of materiality distract from spatial and formal understanding.
The scale of the spaces still seems a bit cramped, cathedrals are large spaces of awe. iconic attractions of a faith that must hold sway over masses. masses must fit within them and still seem meager in the presence of the church. grow the cells, evolve the scale to produce awe.
