How light influenced the building

The way light travels influenced the buildings curvy shapes. Only the buildings that do not require natural light have straight walls.

I got my ideas from buildings like corbusier’s Notre dame chapel. The curved walls let light travel through the walls with a very natural flow to give off a very subtle and calm lighting.

The lighting in my building is kept to a minimum to make it have a hazy like atmosphere. I believe that atmosphere in my chapel is what makes it unique.

This is the main chapels roof. As you can see in this section, light comes in from the top and flows through the round like shape of the roof and bounces to the other round shape of the roof. This permits light to come in at noon, when the sun is directly above in the sky, and does not let the light hit the ground making it a nuisance for worshipers.

With this light cannon, light comes in from the small hole, and spreads through the larger tube and hits a round bowl like platform at its base sending the light back to the ceiling, illuminating it slightly.
