项目为一间坐落于美丽花园中的礼拜堂，该礼拜堂是一处清心冥思之所，其空间尺度仅可容纳一人，简单的结构和寂静的氛围使其成为来访者的心灵居所。

This is a small meditation chapel. The project is a small construction for a little chapel located on a great garden. It’s a chapel to be alone and contain one self within the open space of the garden. It’s also a structure that relates to a human scale in size and to a spiritual one in use.

教堂的结构看似简单，1200块红色空心砖围合成的空间，形似六面体，其顶部平面向一侧倾斜形成坡面。砖块镶嵌于金属结构框架中，但彼此并不粘结，每一块砖都是可以自由移动的个体。这种独特的建造方式使礼拜堂尽显灵活的形式，又维持了稳定的结构。冥想空间是一个孤独寂静之所，该礼拜堂的每一个组成部分都能维持自身的稳定与平和。这种建造方式恰如人与冥想之力，以及材料与结构之力的结合。

On this very simple basis the structure becomes a constructive exercise under a repetitive tension system that comprises 1200 pieces of hollow red brick separated between them but united by a set of “guides” in the form of steel rods that form rings that vary in size according to the height of the chapel. The pieces are attached to the metallic structure with mortar but there’s no binding between them so they practically appear to float. The tensed structure is flexible but stable at the same time. In the same way that meditation requires a certain degree of introspection and solitude of the individual each piece of brick is alone in the structure immersed between tension and gravity.This is a reaction to the power of one within thought and that of a material piece within a structural system of forces.
