Non-Denominational Chapel on the campus of SUNY Farmingdale
Assignment: 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. The College has outlined a preliminary program
that is listed below. A site has yet to select 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.
