One of the most inspiring features that I wanted to incorporate into the chapel design was the expressive lighting that Tadao Ando displays in many of his buildings. This strips of light coming from a side wall or a roof. Based on the schematic modeling i did for the project, the side chapel really expressed this lighting effect. Like much of Ando's work, I imagine this structure being made of thick concrete walls that have a slit of light in the top of the chapel all along the corridor.
Also at the end of the of the chapel, there are three slits of light that form a triangle. This might be my beloved detail that represents the trinity as three different components that together make one body represented by the triangle.
