Descri­zio­ne del progetto

Given the exten­sion of Catho­lic com­mu­ni­ty and the increa­sing in tou­ri­st in Samui island, Surat­tha­ni, who wishes to par­ti­ci­pa­te the mass in the then cha­pel, Bishop Jose­ph Pra­than Sri­da­run­sil, SDB, came up with the idea to build a new church and name it as Mary Help of Chri­stian church. The selec­ted archi­tect, whom inspi­red by the church name, took part of the Holy Bible rela­ting to holy Annun­cia­tion of Mary into his desi­gn as follow:
LUKE 1:35
In answer the angel said to her: “Holy spi­rit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will over­sha­dow you. And for that rea­son the one who is born will be cal­led holy, God’s Son.
LUKE 1:38
Then Mary said: “Look, Jehovah’s sla­ve girl. May it hap­pen to me accor­ding to your decla­ra­tion.” At that the angel depar­ted from her.
From the Holy Gospel of Jesus Chri­st, accor­ding to Luke, 1:35 and 1:38, we can see that the appea­ran­ce of Angle to con­vey the Holy mes­sa­ge to Mary the vir­gin was in a hum­ble and sim­ple way yet power­ful. It was to accept the Holy Spi­rit to pos­sess her in order to bear the Redee­mer in her womb. She sacri­fi­ced her­self as a natu­ral mean for human being survival.
“Safe as in mothe­r’s womb”
In desi­gning the buil­ding, the archi­tect intends to con­vey this mes­sa­ge in a sim­ple way with its inter­nal spa­ce with light form that crea­tes a fee­ling of secu­ri­ty as in the mother womb.
Buil­ding exte­rior was desi­gned in a com­bi­ned form of pray­ing hands, Angle wings and the Rays of the Holy Spi­rit. The use of natu­ral light throu­gh the sky­light for inte­rior lighting and sha­dow of cloud fal­ling on the walls, repre­sent the God mighty that is abo­ve all things crea­ted by human being. To rea­li­ze this phe­no­me­na in a hot and humid envi­ron­ment of Samui island, the long and nar­row light voids in com­bi­ning with light weight insu­la­tion con­cre­te wall run­ning throu­gh then were desi­gn in order to crea­te a sha­dow that keep chan­ging with time yet retains the inte­rior comfort.
“Inte­gra­ted 2 clas­sic lay­out plans”
The Lay­out plan is basi­cal­ly focus on clas­sic cross plan­ning of tra­di­tio­nal church. Inte­gra­ted with sur­roun­ding cor­ri­dor plan­ning of tra­di­tio­nal Thai’s “Wat”(Temple). This cor­ri­dor act as heat buf­fer and crea­te sha­de to main acti­vi­ty area which is more match to tro­pi­cal cli­ma­te of Samui island, South of Thailand.
“No deco­ra­tion…… Best decoration”
Sin­ce the pur­po­se of the church is for pray­ing, the archi­tect intends to mini­mi­ze the sym­bo­lic deco­ra­tion. Hen­ce, the prayers would focus only on sacra­ment and its natu­ral envi­ron­ment. Natu­ral mate­rial with mini­mum pro­cess are selec­ted, eg. whi­te con­cre­te wall, ter­raz­zo floor, glass, natu­ral whi­te oak fur­ni­tu­re and gray mar­ble, were used for inte­rior deco­ra­tion. Prayers can hum­bly enjoy their pea­ce of mind whi­le embra­cing the Glo­ries of the great Creator.
