Descrizione del progetto
Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel and Columbarium sit on a hill with a river stream flowing nearby. Likened to the hill of Golgotha, the chapel is approached by a long meandering path for visitors to relive “Via Dolorasa” (path of suffering) that followed the sentencing of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion. To illuminate the feelings of the Virgin Mary as she embraced the crucified Lord Jesus, with a motif of white lily, the architecture expresses the form of descent by eliminating any evident structural elements such as columns and beams, and detaching itself from the earth.
In order to maintain the shape of the hill as much as possible, the necessary functions are buried beneath the ground. The sacristy, office, restrooms, and children’s room are planned in the basement, while the altar and mortar-shape seating area for 350 people are set in under the ground level, leaving only the cross to protrude from the top of the hill. Just as the Virgin Mary gently held the crucified Jesus Christ on the hill of Golgotha, we aimed to create an architecture that embraces people in a warm light of compassion.
