这是一个小的冥想礼拜堂。该项目是一个位于大花园上的小教堂的小型建筑。这是一个独处的小教堂,在花园的开放空间中容纳自己。这也是一个在尺寸上与人的尺度有关,在使用上与精神尺度有关的结构。

This is a small meditation chapel. The project is a small construction for a little chapel located on a great garden. It’s a chapel to be alone and contain one self within the open space of the garden. It’s also a structure that relates to a human scale in size and to a spiritual one in use.

在这个非常简单的基础上,该结构在一个重复的张力系统下成为一个建设性的练习,该系统由1200块空心红砖组成,它们之间是分开的,但被一组钢棒形式的 “导引 “结合在一起,钢棒的大小根据教堂的高度而不同。这些砖块用砂浆连接到金属结构上,但它们之间没有任何约束力,所以它们实际上看起来是漂浮的。紧张的结构是灵活的,但同时也是稳定的。就像冥想需要一定程度的内省和个人的孤独一样,每一块砖都是独自沉浸在张力和重力之间的结构中。

On this very simple basis the structure becomes a constructive exercise under a repetitive tension system that comprises 1200 pieces of hollow red brick separated between them but united by a set of “guides” in the form of steel rods that form rings that vary in size according to the height of the chapel. The pieces are attached to the metallic structure with mortar but there’s no binding between them so they practically appear to float. The tensed structure is flexible but stable at the same time. In the same way that meditation requires a certain degree of introspection and solitude of the individual each piece of brick is alone in the structure immersed between tension and gravity.

这是对一个人在思想中的力量的反应,也是对一块材料在一个结构体系中的力量的反应。

This is a reaction to the power of one within thought and that of a material piece within a structural system of forces.
