DLSZ Chapel and Retreat House Scheme 1 dated July 2006

This is the initial design study we submitted to the school. The submission package we provided included a research on the Church/Religious Building type along with case studies of important modernist churches. We were able to get a toehold on the project because of the research. But that's just the start of the real work. By the way, this scheme was a product of a lot of heated debate between me and my design principal (hahaha... who happens to be my father) I just conceded to him for a lot of items because, aside from the time pressure/schedule, I also had trouble articulating what I wanted and there are times you just got to hand over the ball to the team lead and see where he goes with it... layered cake notwithstanding...
