A Family Chapel: Searching for Form

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The building is a family chapel comprised of three separate yet interdependent spaces: a sanctuary, a stair tower, and a spire. The design developed from the inside out, specifically from the interior of the sanctuary to the building as a cohesive whole. The building's form was found through sketching and making a model. The design is represented through sketches, drawings, and photographs.
