Project 3: Light Control

This aim of this project is to design a non-denominational chapel in Farmingdale State College using methods of light control previously researched. We focus on making walls curved and adding reflectors to windows to prevent light from directly hitting the floor.

Light Background Research

Sant'Andrea Al Quirinale

The building has an oval plan with

stucco interior and columns using light

colors in order to reflect light entering

the building.

Windows high up surround the lantern in the middle, such that the light enters from all sides and shines down which lights up the dome.

Similar lighting concept is used above the altar, high placed windows in a circular shape in order to allow light to enter, emphasizing the importance of the altar.

Site Selection

This proposed location is suitable for building's use due to being placed separated from educational areas and instead within student life territory.
