The Chapel – Research Housing Design Presentation

In the borderland between neglected nature and a center for technological innovation, the Chapel is placed as an annex to the Cathedral, the workshop for Dataton, with smaller dwelling units for temporary housing for researchers and visitors.
In contrast to the Cathedral, with its solid, closed envelope, the Chapel appears as a chain of smaller units, triangular in cross section, linked together. The connection of the different units allow for future connection between rooms, with the possibility of linking spaces, creating larger units. A core with a bathroom and kitchen is prepared for easy demounting/remounting thus adapting the size of units according to future needs.
The Chapel, together with the Cathedral, both curious volumes sharply sculpted in a coarse asphalt coating and an inside in wood, create new spatialities that will mediate and create a dialogue within the disparate landscape.
