PROJECT 3
Project Statement:
The objective of this project was to design a non-denominational chapel on the campus of Farmingdale State College. The College would like the students to design a spiritual space, where people of all faith can worship. The College administration believes that spirituality can be achieved by bringing natural light into the building as Greeks and Romans did. Students were required to select a location of their choice facing a public space and should be integrated into the campus fabric.
