Project 3

Light

This project is meant 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.

Preliminary Program:

Chapel (Sacred Spaces - light oriented)

  • Main Sanctuary; 50 people

  • Memorial Chapel (small - looking back on loss and regret)

  • Meditation Chapel (small - looking forward on life's choices)

  • Lobby

Offices / Utility (Secular - built context oriented)

  • Secretary Office

  • Clergy’s Office

  • Small Library and Conference Room

  • Storage

  • Toilets
