Chapell Provisoire de ST-Loup, Suiza, 2008

During the renovation of a historic building, including the community’s main chapel, Local Architecture suggested building a temporary chapel to accommodate religious worship during the 18 month construction period.

Durante la renovación de un edificio histórico, que incluía también la capilla de la comunidad, el estudio suizo Local Architecture (http://www.localarchitecture.ch/), en colaboración con Hani Buri y Yves Winand, diseñaron un oratorio provisional donde celebrar los oficios religiosos mientras se finalizaban las obras.

Local Architecture, in collaboration with Hani Buri and Yves Weinand, developed a structure using timber panels. Built directly on the ground, the new chapel blends subtly and delicately with the landscape. The folded volume generates a wide horizontal space at the entrance, before closing in and rising up to become vertical towards the centre of the chapel.
