The design of this chapel
project derives from the idea
of creating a spiritually
enriching space by the
use of unique forms. These
forms allow natural light to
flood into the building to
create a feeling of divine
presence. The shifting planes
represents spiritual unrest.
The unrest from spiritual
separation from God as well
as each other. Though the
form shifts, the plan is a
structured axial plan to
give guidance to those who      site plan
need it, everyone who enters.
