Project 3: Light
Form & Order
We have been selected to design a proposed 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. My job was to select a site on campus that would reflect the significance of the chapel. Designing 3 chapels; a main, memorial, meditational and a corridor, the focus will be directed towards the light of the sun. The College explicitly requests the design not be symmetrical, so through much creative thought, I design a one of kind chapel.
