Project #3
Light and Order Project
Non-Denominational Chapel on the campus of SUNY
Farmingdale
Diagrams and Philosophy
This project I tried to work the hierarchy of the
campus. Since they seemed to be
circles, I worked circles into my project. I added a circular reflecting pool around my Chapel. Since my main Chapel is the most
important I added a circle to it.
I tried to create an open-air feeling in while still having the building
enclosed since it is located in New York and not a warmer climate.
I located the chapel near the newest construction but
also near the original buildings to attempt to tie the campus together better.
The Chapel is designed for meditation chapel the to
get sun light in the morning, so it gets itŐs light from the east.
The memorial chapel is designed to get sun light in
the late afternoon/ early evening right before the sun goes down. So it gets
its sun light from the west.
The main chapel is designed to get sun light at all
hours of the day (minus the hours that it is dark) so the light cannon on it
faces the south.
The outdoor space/ chapel will get direct sun in the
morning and at noon, so it is perfect to eat breakfast or lunch out there.
The offices located along the main datum. They all face in which creates another
out door space which is occupied by part of the
reflecting pool.
