| dc.description | Corten steel walls, at beginning of 600 ft. processional walk as it rises to chapel (forming a V shape); The Prayer Pavilion of Light is part of a 58-acre church (First Assembly of God) campus in Phoenix. Sited along the edge of a desert preserve, a series of inclined, landscaped planes are incised by a 600 foot-long processional walk (bordered by looming, rusted steel walls which gradually diminish to waist height), progressively revealing the orthogonal chapel as one gradually ascends the 28 vertical feet between the chapel mount and garden entrance. Envisioned as a "lantern on a hill," the minimal square chapel sits suspended eight feet above the ground, defined by four Vierendeel steel frames supported on a pinwheel of four black-concrete monolithic walls. Each wall anchors a corner of the "glass box" chapel. This lower space can be totally opened with retractable glass walls. The remaining length of wall extending into the landscape captures and defines three unique courtyards around the building. Source: ArchDaily; http://www.archdaily.com/ (accessed 6/18/2015) | en_US |
