Project Description

The "Chapel of the Valley" is a community sanctuary that employs a powerful, minimalistic design to create a profound spiritual and architectural presence. The project's central feature is a single, soaring concrete wall, rising 150 meters from the ground, which elegantly curls to form a self-supporting loop. This unique form provides both structural stability and a sheltered space for the altar and prayer area.

​

The design's strength lies in its experiential qualities. The narrow space between the colossal walls and their immense height creates a sense of awe and reverence, while the rough concrete finish enhances the tactile and visual experience. Beyond its function as a place of worship, the chapel's monumental form acts as a beacon for the Bailuwan community, instilling a sense of protection and spiritual guidance within the valley. It stands as a powerful testament to how simple, impactful architecture can serve as a timeless landmark.
