SCHÖENSTATT CHAPEL

Location: La Florida, Santiago. Chile

The superposition of a circle in a square is the geometric beginning of this project architectural concept.
The circle represents the divine component, the infinity, the perfection, while the square represents the humankind and the reason, considering that the right angle does not exist in nature.
A triangle inserted between the altar and the two borders of the square is marked by natural sunlight which light up the wall creating a reference to the Holy Trinity.
The double access portico is inserted in another figure which hold up the twelve apostles and creates an axial tension through the altar.
