The Chapel at Yonsei University is not only a symbol of the institution but also a place of inspiration, embodying the Christian spirit introduced by missionary Horace Underwood, who arrived in Korea approximately 140 years ago. The building is celebrated for reflecting the spiritual and aesthetic values that the university strives to uphold.
The design of Christine Chapel focuses on balancing its primary function as a place of worship with its role as a versatile, multi-purpose hall. The design thoughtfully considers the relationship between environment, space, and humanity, aiming to create a harmonious whole. This philosophy is evident in the material choices, which contrast the solid presence of hardwood and stone floors with the ethereal quality of sheer fabric used for the walls and ceiling. The fabric not only enhances the space visually but also serves a practical function, as it absorbs sound to improve acoustics. Embedded within the fabric are speakers and RGB lighting modules, which further enhance the atmosphere of the chapel.
The designer also utilized the surrounding space to create a natural mound, which serves to visually block distractions while inviting nature inside. Over time, plants will grow on the mound, and seasonal changes will bring the beauty of falling leaves and snow. A movable wall behind the stage allows the window to be closed, ensuring the audience’s focus remains undisturbed. Another striking feature is the mosaic screen behind the altar, which, unlike conventional stained glass, creates a softer, more calming ambiance, contributing to the chapel’s peaceful and contemplative atmosphere.
