Celebratory Spaces - Project 2 - Cemetery - Stained Glass Study

Designing a multi-confessional chapel where all the people, no matter what religion they are, can come and feel the peace, the light and the atmosphere which represents God. I made a study based on the stained glass which is very typical for the Christianity. People use it in cathedrals, churches and it is very beautiful and colourful. Gothe says that 'colour is the pain of light' but on the other hand Bruno Taut says 'Colour glass destroys hatred.'

Frank O Gehry in Oxford

One of the greatest feeling in my life was standing next to one of the world leading architects nowadays. He came to Sheldonian theatre in Oxford to talk about his career. After the lecture I had the chance to talk to him and shake his hand which was unforgettable time of my life. Thank God I had this opportunity :)))

Celebratory Spaces - Project 2 - Cemetery - Gothic Spaces Analysis

Studying the Baroque pattern I find quite interesting the Gothic spaces which cathedrals create. I tried to develop a render of a rose with its many layers using them as pathways, different spaces.













Celebratory Spaces - Project 2 - Cemetery - Baroque Pattern Studies

I made a couple of renders just to get more into the baroque style. I wanted to study its history, its relation to the organic ornaments and the way it creates spaces. I was inspired by the flora in San Michele, so I made that as an initial proposal for a chapel for the site.























Celebratory Spaces - Project 2 - Cemetery - Flower Render

Inspired by flowers on the site, I made a decision to make a 3D model of a rose just to experiment with the layers and the spaces it creates.
