Chapel inspired by Aalto

2012 / 2013

”As it is placed in such an such a mesmerizing natural environment, Aalto used this to his advantage and designed with the intentions of blurring the lines between being inside or outdoors. To reproduce a similar experience as when walking through a forest Aalto used a spacial layering concept. The vericality of the columns existing throught the house and fence by the staircase mimic the nature of trees that surround the house.  ” by ArchDaily.

Concept is based on experiencing chapel as when walking in the woods, where is light which enables perception of forest’s continious depth. Alone in the deep forest, sun as honour – image that present the main concept. Columns imitate the woods, while natural light gives all the spirit to the space.
