Filamentario Chapel
Jal., Mexico
Project of the Day on Apr 07, 2016
Project Featured on Apr 07, 2016
The concept for the Filamentary Chapel is to create a processional scheme, a peripheral pathway around the chapel that promotes an introspective process in preparation for the religious ceremony and for a personal spiritual seclusion. The traditional axial and finite scheme that ends at the altar, is turned around 180 degrees in order to create a peripheral procession that makes the altar the center of the composition.
The emplacement of the chapel idealizes the duality between the absence and the presence; it is a construction that is built but it is also excavated. It is like an archeological finding that obliges to make a descendant course which is awarded by the unexpected entrance from a transitional atrium.
Passing the threshold of the chapel and having the cross in a frontal view for the second time, the duality of the ethereal and the corporeal is reinforced. The massiveness of the concrete walls is contrasted by the fragmented lightness of the Filamentary wall; these delicate filaments interweave a strong relationship between the external and the internal boundaries through the intricate mix of light and shadow.
Hidden within the northern wall, you may approach the chapel of light; a brief space, a lateral chapel that marks the peak of the procession and also treasures laconic residues of light in its interior.
This is a space of faith where light materializes in forms that contain it and transform it, light is assimilated as well as emanated in order to make a composition of dualities in search of perfect balance; the corporeal and the ethereal accompany each other in order to achieve a discourse in which the material and the spiritual are set in harmony in order to achieve a space for art and spiritual seclusion.
