Project descrip­tion

This design based on a square. This form is tra­di­tion­al: under­stand­able square-shaped quad­ran­gle is the basis of all wood­en con­struc­tion, the sacred space of church­es in particular.
The ver­ti­cal sil­hou­ette of the chapel we bor­rowed from the bell towers.
The main mys­tery of our chapel hid­den in its struc­ture — in the walls. A build­ing that grows from a square base turns into a com­plex shaped star clos­er to the top, sim­i­lar to a star — a sym­bol of eter­nal motion.
The top of the Chapel takes the form of a square again, which stops the motion, but its posi­tion rel­a­tive­ly to the base has already been changed. In its design, the Chapel con­tains an encrypt­ed tran­si­tion from the sta­t­ics of a square to eter­nal trans­for­ma­tions. The move­ment from clear and famil­iar to mys­te­ri­ous and mys­ti­cal, from being in the time cap­tiv­i­ty to eternity.
