STEPH'S PORTFOLIO
Project 3- Light
Understanding Form and Order
The purpose of this project is to create a design for a non-denominational chapel 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. Different techniques could be used in the design in order to control the amount of light that enters a building and create a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, providing an ideal environment for worship and reflection.

Here is the original drawing designed by Louis Khan showcasing how he designed his lighting system and right next to his drawing is a simple drawn design of the vault showing the opening for the light to come through and bounce off to the ceiling.
