LIGHT
FORM AND ORDER MAKER

The objective of this of this project was to create a design for a non-denominational chapel on the campus of Farmingdale State Colleges and how the ability of light enters the temple. As light comes into a building it can be controlled using different techniques like backlighting, reflector shields, and light cannons.

light entering the building 

when doing this research I liked learning about the different ways he was allowing light entering the rooms and buildings causing such a change in going around the rooms and places for people to be able to gather themselves and pray either alone or with each other for example in this photo showing the light entering in the small windows at the center blocking light from coming in fully and having so much light in the room

Site Location

selecting this area for my sight was easy because of the area its in with a building to the left of my temple location and in front of it with a major hierarchy with the water fall in front of all of these locations it's a great location just off one of the main roads coming up to Farmingdale as well causing many people to see it and catch eyes
