圣依纳爵教堂丨TrahanArchitects

The Chapel of St. Ignatius and the Gayle and Tom Benson Jesuit Center将为校园社区提供舒适的环境和神圣空间。它的设计意识考虑到整个场地的背景，和邻近的哥特式建筑和周围环境的关系。教堂将有一种可感知的质量和重量感，唤起一种永恒的感觉，就像在校园里的其他建筑一样。这座建筑将是永恒的，不会模仿校园里的历史建筑风格，而是通过自己鲜明的当代特征来提升其他建筑之间的和谐。

The Chapel of St. Ignatius and the Gayle and Tom Benson Jesuit Center will serve the campus community as an environmentally sensitive and sustainable sacred space. It is designed with awareness to the context of the overall site, both in relation to the Gothic-style adjacent buildings and the surrounding environment. The Chapel will have a perceived sense of mass and weightiness that evokes a feeling of permanence as seen in other buildings on campus. The building will be timeless and not mimic the historic architectural style on campus, but it will rather elevate the harmony between the other buildings by having its own distinctly contemporary character.

在教堂的圆形形状和连接的反射空间中，游客获得了一种整体感。在内部，多重圆形进一步实现了校园社区的同一性价值，共同学习，整合信仰和理性的追求。

In the Chapel’s circular shape and connected reflective spaces, visitors receive a sense of wholeness and invitation to community. Internally, the repetition of the circular motif further realizes the value of oneness of a campus community learning together to integrate the pursuits of faith and reason.

该建筑旨在唤起平静、温暖和神秘。充足的自然、漫射的日光将洗涤新教堂内的空间，提供一个诱人的自然环境;一个大的洞眼和天窗将被整合到避难所空间的天花板中，以创建与天空和天堂的连接。大型玻璃入口门允许从校园到避难所的中心的直接视觉连接，反之亦然，为校园社区创造了一个受欢迎的场所。

Qualitatively, the building is meant to evoke calmness, warmth, and mystery. Ample natural, diffuse daylight will wash the spaces within the new Chapel to provide an inviting and natural environment; a large oculus and skylight will be integrated within the sanctuary space’s ceiling in order to create a connection with the sky and heavens. Large glass entry doors allow for a direct visual connection from the campus into the heart of the sanctuary and vice versa, creating a welcoming addition to the campus community.
