Light

This proposed project focus' on non-denominational chapel located on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The College wants this to be a profoundly spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on life’s events. The College believes this can be achieved by the creative use of light. The College is looking for guidance from the Architect. The building is integrated into the fabric of the campus and on the public square.

Background Information

I used Louis Khan's Kimbell idea that was incorporated the the art museum for the special skylight.

For my side chapel I added one of Alvar Aalto idea in his library with the open roof with a wall for the light to bounce off.

Floor Plan

Site Selection

I chose this location because it is not surrounded by too many buildings, and this will be an advantage for the design. The structure will get the best of the sunlight which helps to emphasize the design and light relationship. The main chapel will get the best sunlight from the south side. this new building will be a building most students will go to because it will pop out since its in a great open space.
