Light Chapel

This project is the result of our analysis, studies and thoughts about how we may perceive light in it’s ever shifting forms. We examined how architects and cultures through out centuries tried to capture most interesting images with use of the Sun. Inspirations for our Chapel came from the likes of Le Corbusier, Antonio Gaudi, Kengo Kuma and Tadao Ando – all of those great minds, their works made us seek for precise and beautifull solutions. The simplicity of Light Chapel core is heavely connected to pursuit of purification of ourselfs. By entering this space, first you would experience veriety of visual effects – countless shadows, reflections, blurry images seen through different types of partitions. Depending on which rout you would chose, your observations of surroundings would differ to huge extend, however – fallowing the main path, leading to the center of Chapel, could feel as journey to destination that at it’s end has something extraordinary to reveal. Inside of the most inner walls, visitor would be isolated from the outside world, barely underestanding what is happening beyond that space. There, water pond would serve as natural mirror surface and symbol of purification – it would be up to you if you would like to touch it, just look at it or contemplate it’s role. And that is the exact purpose of our creation: first, need of going through unclear perception of the environment and then – complete disconnection from distractions by pure concentration of our senses.
