Competition entry 2001

The chapel is the place of thanksgiving and intercession for the Red Cross Sisterhood and its patients, employees and visitors of all monotheistic religions.

A place of introspection, devotion, contemplation, reflection, questions, search, comfort, communion, hope, the mystery of faith, a place of refuge in distress.

Design idea for the meditative color and projection space is the work >canopy window<. This invites you on a journey into the wonderful world of the microcosm.

It bears witness to the diversity of forms in the story of creation and floats like a canopy in the house of God.

The large motif, a kind of cosmic tent floats as a cloudy structure on the east-facing glass front. It forms a color and light perspective from blue-black to yellow, from opaque to highly transparent.

Its expansive form dissolves the existing extreme vanishing lines and at the same time forms the framework for further depictions of single-celled animals.

Standing in the chapel, which receives scattered daylight, the viewer experiences a color space that reveals its mystery only at second glance.
