Philosophy

The main idea behind my project was simple circulation with a large aspect of the project leaning towards the sanctuary. Because light travels along many different surfaces I thought it would be neat to incorporate a lot of curves into my project. From my light machine I could see how light reacted to the curves and was very eager to apply this. Because the campus is not orientated with the sun I had to design my building in such away to stay in context with the rest of the site while still being able to receive sunlight. I used certain walls and some straight edges to blend contextually wile still orientating my light machines toward the direct sun. the way I hold my project together is by using a very strong circulation path in which a have a datum which acts as a central spine. This allows for all my other parts of the building to branch off. In addition my hierarchy is very simple the sanctuary is the most important due to its shape and overall design.
