Objective

The aim of this project is to understand how the use of light can effect the spaces of a building. Light can accentuate an important feature or space and can also be used to make a space feel larger or smaller than it really is if it is controlled well.

You 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. The College has outlined a preliminary program that is listed below. A site has yet to selected on campus; the College is looking for guidance from the Architect. The building should be integrated into the fabric of the campus. The College explicitly requests the design not be symmetrical
