Light

The focus of this project is to design a proposed non-denominational chapel located on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The College wants this to be a profoundly spiritual place that people of all faiths can worship and reflect on life’s events. The College believes this can be achieved by the creative use of light. Students must select a site on campus and implement a non-symmetrical design.

Site Selection

The site was selected for its close proximity to a high traffic pedestrian pathway near the center of the college where it can be viewed often. Its orientation was selected to maximize sunlight with all three chapel buildings receiving southern light.
