Philosophy statement explaining

How light influenced the form of the building

I oriented my building to be perpendicular to the light and follow the east/west curve so that it can easily be bent to my whim,

How you selected your site

Green=Site Plan

The site I chose was located in an area which orientated to leisure and relaxation while being along a major pedestrian circulation path within the campus

How the design mediated the contextual conflict between orientation of the built environment and the natural environment

I oriented the basic rooms to coincide with the campus and face the path it branch off of to create space. I also ensured the chapels orientated towards the sun in order to bend light to allow me to bend it.
