2 days agocruciform skylight illuminates subterranean prayer room by korean architect ITM yooehwa
The commission emerged from a donation by an elder of a local church, and the brief invited a chapel that was both modest and purposeful. ' The site revealed itself,' lead architect Yoo Ehwa shares. She describes perceiving the contours of the campus as resembling a sheep, with the chosen hill forming its heart. This elevated position allows the subterranean structure to be read from surrounding buildings, with the form of its rooftop cross visible only from the sky and the interior.
