Light

In this project, we were assigned to create three chapels in the campus of Farmingdale State College. However, in this project we were mostly focused on playing with light. The objective was to control light from different angles and make sure light was entering the building in the right way. The building it self had to be a non-dominant building where people wouldn't usually see it.

Site Plan Context

I chose this location on the site because this spot doesn’t interfere with the mall space. Also, I chose this spot due to wanting the sun hitting the west, east, and south side of chapels rather than the sun hitting the façade. Due to the north side of the building barely getting any sunlight, I want the chapels to have more sunlight than other spots in the building.
