The core value of Christianity—and the very nature of God's Presence—is rooted in the relational dynamic of the Holy Trinity. This project seeks to translate that relational essence into architectural form by creating spaces that embody the Christian spirit through spatial relationships.
At the heart of the design lies a triangular courtyard—a closed space open only to the sky. This vertical openness expresses a yearning for heaven and a symbolic orientation toward God. Unlike the first-floor spaces that foster human interaction and community, the courtyard represents a sacred emptiness, an abstraction of divine presence and contemplation. As a spatial metaphor, the courtyard becomes the central void from which meaning radiates. Within this symbolic core, we propose to house the history museum—a space for memory, faith, and reflection.
Around this courtyard, we designed a linear corridor system, forming a continuous loop across floors. This unidirectional circulation not only ensures intuitive and efficient visitor flow but also enables a curatorial sequence optimized for narrative or experiential exhibitions. As users circulate around the central void, the architectural experience becomes both introspective and processional.
On the lower levels, we placed a multipurpose space that opens to the surrounding neighborhood—serving as an active interface between the church and the local community. Here, visual transparency is introduced through an architectural device: a framed opening that penetrates the building envelope, visually connecting the interior to the city outside. This gesture transforms the wall into a lens—a threshold between sacred and secular realms—extending the meaning of the space beyond its physical boundary.
