PROJECT 3

LIGHT

Non-Denominational Chapel on the campus of SUNY Farmingdale

The purpose of this project is to design a non denominational church on the campus of SUNY Farmingdale. We need to make this a profoundly spiritual place with the use of light. To start this project we were all assigned a building to research where the architect used light creatively. The project I was assigned the Riola Parish Church by Alvar Aalto.

LIGHT MACHINES:

The class created light machines to test what we learned from our research and to test ideas of our own.

AUTOCAD LIGHT MACHINES:

We recreated our efforts in AutoCAD with 3D models.

CONTEXTURAL ANALYSIS:

Analysis of the built and natural environment.

SITE ANALYSIS:

Location of church and why I chose that spot along with some preliminary designs.

FINAL DESIGN:

Philosophy, plans, elevations, interior and exterior views.
