DESCRIPTION
The project was about learning and understanding one of the famous works created by Le Corbusier, which was the Notre Dame du Haut, Ronchamp Church and asking, "How would you redesign the church if you had the chance?" So this was how I would re-design them.

Re-‐Design Project

FINAL RE-‐DESIGN
Day 1 The first day, God created the light. Without light, nothing would have started. Light is one of the most important things in this subject. Le Corbusier has successfully designed the church, which has its magnificence. One of the parts are the Clestory Windows, letting the light shines through the beautiful colored glass of Emerald, Ruby and Amethysts. I believe that this is very important and that I wouldn’t change this part of the design.
Day 2 The Second day, God created the dome above and called them Sky. The sky could help bringing the atmosphere brighter when the weather is nice and could also create the atmosphere more depressing when it is cloudy. A sky is an important part of the nature and in my opinion, it is sad to not be able to see the sky. I would add the solar bottle lights on the roof of the Chapel to let the power of the light and sky brighten up the atmosphere of the inner part of the Chapel.
Day 3 On the Third Day, God created the Land and the Ocean. I was inspired by the design of the Wedding Chapel at Tirtha Uluwatu in Bali, Indonesia. I would use big and small stone tiles to represent the land and the water underneath to represent the ocean.
Day 4 On the Fourth Day, God created the stars, the moon and the sun to show the time for seasons, special days and years. It is important to understand how time works. In here, I would add another solar bottle lights on the East walls, where the Pastor stands and start the Chapel time. Chapel time could start in the morning, or in the afternoon. When the Chapel is starting in the morning, the sunrise (which comes from the East) will shine and create very bright light through the solar bottle lights. And the lights will bring the joyful atmosphere.
Day 5 On the Fifth Day, God created the Sea creatures and the Birds. Day 6 On the Sixth Day, God created the Animals, and finally the human beings. Day 7 God saw what he has created and He was happy. He rested that day and called the day, The Sabbath Day. Where nobody is supposed to work, and spend their time with their families and enjoy. Everyone come to the Chapel on Sunday, and praise the Lord. Noah’s Ark (The Outer Part of the Ronchamp Chapel)
The story of Noah’s Ark came out after the “7 days of Creation” and the story of “Adam and Eve”. God was very mad at the human beings as the population increased because no one was “good”, except for Noah. He was the only one who would obey God and follow Him. So God commanded him to create a ship that would save the animals and also Noah’s family. God wanted to swipe off everything else and kill all the sinners. In the end, Noah, his family and the animals survived. The reason why I decided to use the wooden walls for the outer part of the Chapel was because I was inspired by the story of Noah’s Ark. When I was doing the research, some said that the Christian sees the Ronchamp Chapel as the Ship of God, because of the curved rooftop looking like a ship. So I wanted to emphasize even more by using the concept of Noah’s Ark because this is also representing the ship of God. May God bless and bring safety and salvation to those who follow Him.
