Preliminary design

Light influences the entire design process of this building. Due to the light, my building was oriented in a particular way. As the sun goes throughout the day, the rays light up different parts of my chapel. This also had an impact on my site selection. I chose my location because it was not interfering with any of the major parts of the campus but it is still integrated into the flow of campus. Inside the chapel, I have a radial circulation spine which radiates out of the middle. The sun was my inspiration for this circulation pattern. The center represents the sun and the rays coming off the sun show the different paths you can take to get to each part of the building.
