The
PRAYER PAVILION OF LIGHT is a 250-seat chapel located on a 60-acre Protestant
church campus in Phoenix, Arizona.
Positioned at a high point on the campus, against the native desert, the
chapel is accessed by a 600' long processional “zigzag” that gradually ascends
28 feet. Three garden courtyards
surround the chapel including a linear reflection pool, a torch of fire and
50-foot-high steel cross all within a shaded grove of native trees.
Envisioned
as a ‘lantern on a hill’, the translucent glass chapel rises nearly 30’ with a
double glass skin enclosure suspended eight feet above the ground on a pinwheel
of four black-concrete walls. The
double skin of fritted translucent glass with 5' deep airspace, delivers high
technology and profound art in one elegant gesture. Below the lantern, stacking, sliding glass doors retract on
three sides opening the interior and blurring the line between indoor and
outdoor space. With opened sides, the chapel transforms into a ‘pavilion’
accommodating thousands during the temperate months of the year.
Entering
through a pair of custom, cast-bronze doors, the sparse interior is subject to
the day-lit glow of the translucent enclosure and encompassing views of the
surrounding desert landscape. At
night, the glass pavilion transforms into art, by hundreds of LED fixtures
mounted between the double skins, subtly colorizing the building into intense
and sublime hues set against the dark desert backdrop.
technical:
The
double skin, glass building delivers high-technology and profound art in one
elegant gesture. An outer layer of
fritted-translucent glass shades an inner-layer of triple-insulated translucent
glass. The five foot-deep
air-space created by the shaded void between becomes a natural convection air
chimney, releasing hot surface-air while drawing cooler shaded-air along the
face of the building. The
convection chase and shaded glass skin eliminates direct sunlight on the
interior glass and creates a soft glowing interior without the need for electric
light during the daytime.
Delivering HVAC from underground ductwork, only the occupied space is
conditioned from the 8’ datum. In
order to resist standing acoustical waves, the upper glass leans out, directing
any noise into the absorptive white fabric ceiling above.
