Project Description
This project is a church located in a city by the sea. The exterior is shaped into a Chinese-style screen; twelve pillars are designed not only to present the feature of strong wind, but also to symbolize Twelve Tribes of Israel. As for Christ, he is the saviour and judge of the world. To establish the relationship between people and the church, the designer merges the above elements into his design.
The design concept is originated from a common screen in Chinese society, which is full of an obscure sense of mystery. The designer aims to make it a distinctive landmark. The large white screen, surrounding low walls, lighting which penetrates the punching plate and planting, and larch trees planted in the east-north side make the design more layer and exotic aesthetic, attracting to non-Christians to have a look as well.
During the execution, the designer analyses the climate and location data, researches the area planning, deliberates the law, calculates the area, designs the mode, tests the wind tunnel, and so on. It took almost half a year to solemnly and carefully complete the preliminary works by collecting and analysing data so that the brilliant project could be finished.
