"The prayer room "Heaven's Voice" at Handong University began as a project initiated by a donation from an elder of a local church. While there were several potential sites for a chapel on campus, the current location was chosen without hesitation. To the eyes of the architect, who is also a Christian, the overall shape of Handong University resembled a sheep, and a small hill at its heart caught his attention."
"While there were several potential sites for a chapel on campus, the current location was chosen without hesitation. To the eyes of the architect, who is also a Christian, the overall shape of Handong University resembled a sheep, and a small hill at its heart caught his attention. This site is strategically positioned, visible from surrounding campus buildings, and the intention was to inscribe the cross from a heavenly perspective, rather than from the human eye level."
Heaven's Voice is a prayer room at Handong University funded by a donation from a church elder. The selected site sits atop a small central hill that the architect perceived as the campus's heart. The location was chosen for its strategic, highly visible placement relative to surrounding campus buildings. The architect, who is a Christian, noted the campus plan resembled a sheep and used that reading to justify the hilltop siting. The design intent emphasizes inscribing the cross from a heavenly, elevated perspective rather than from normal eye level.
