The daylight models needed to have two spaces. One is an outside entrance and is a place for gathering larger groups of people, sharing information, socializing and informative meetings. The second space is for quiet contemplation, spiritual stimulation, intimacy, and escape. We looked to Le Corbusier's Chapel in Ronchamp for precedents. This space was described as, "a vessel of intense concentration and meditation."

As you can see in plan, you enter the space from the south which is actually at the top in this picture. This is the welcoming outdoor space. You can travel through the small hallway into the intimate space where the direct sunlight beams would evoke feelings for meditation.




The picture to the right is a view into the intimate space with the sunlight streaming onto the floor and up the wall.
