Light
We have been chosen to design a non-denomination chapel on the Farmingdale State College Campus. In this design project, we are to use examples of other architects work to show off a creative use of lighting

I was given the Mount Angel Abbey Library to do my research on. Included here is the presentation of the research, but shown on the right are some of the more important pictures that came out of the research, such as the light diagrams

Site Location
I picked this specific location because of the major, circular walkway, from with the chapel can be seen from, as well as the distance to the parking lot, for easy student walking or driving passage. This site also works well with the curve of the building that has been implemented to which each chapel faces the sun. This spot on the map feels like it was made for this kind of building, which made it fit in perfectly
