Light

"Light creates ambience and feel of a place, as well as the expression of a structure."  Le Corbusier


Farmingdale State College has requested that a non-denominational chapel be built on the campus.  The college wants this chapel to be a place of spirituality, where all religions can gather to reflect on life and practice their individual faiths.  The college wishes to achieve this profound building use the control of light and the range of emotions it can evoke.  They have consulted with an architect for guidance in selecting the location for the chapel on the site of the campus.  They require a certain program to be used and for the building to fit in the context of the campus.  As well, they requestthat the chapel have a non-symmetrical design.
