PROJECT III: LIGHT & C NSTRUCTION
Non-Denominational Chapel
Program:
The objective of this project is to show how natural light can influence the spaces within a building as well as supporting the visual demands of a building's use. Natural light has always been one of the most important elements in Architecture, and is often the starting point of the design. In this project, various approaches are used to control natural light to make more out of the spaces.
Narrative:
You have been selected to design a proposed non-denominational chapel located on the campus of SUNY Farmingdale. The College wants this to be a profoundly spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on life’s events. The College believes this can be achieved by the creative use of light. A site has yet to selected on campus; the College is looking for guidance from the Architect. The building should be integrated into the fabric of the campus. The College explicitly requests the design not be symmetrical..
