Philosophy & final design
My goal for this project was to use light to
create a presents. I achieved this through the orientation of the building as
well as manipulating the light in a creative manner.
Where was the chapel placed?
The chapel is placed in the center of the circle which is
south of the gardens. The main chapel faces the south direction. This is the most important room in this
building so it is shown by size. The
reason for this location is because the circle is a main path of travel (circulation)
and is also a meeting point where all the paths of the campus tend to converge
together. With that it would allow all the paths to be directed to the chapel.
Another reason just north of the chapel is the beautiful gardens of Farmingdale.
Occupants from the chapel can walk to the gardens and enjoy a gorgeous view
besides the chapel itself.
