Studio II - Spring 2008 | Chapel & Crematorium
Project Length - 7 Weeks
Focus - Death of a Building, Material Honesty
Light In Repose - The primary purpose of this
project was to illustrate the parallels between societal decline with that of the built landscape.We build for the short-term; 20 to 40 years is the average life span of a building despite architecture’s potential amaranthine existence. This chapel and deteriorates with the people that produced it, much like the monoliths of our past. The walls are solid concrete and portray a simple honesty that seems to be lost in many modern buildings.
