桦树苔藓教堂

下载所需积分: 2

我们在轻井泽建造了一座小教堂，旨在使其与白桦树的自然环境融为一体。

通过将钢材与白桦树的树干结合，我们设计了一种可能被误认为是真正白桦树的结构。白桦的树枝非常细，但我们在现场随机竖立了它们，以支撑教堂的玻璃屋顶，森林与建筑之间的界限消失了。教堂内的长椅由玻璃和亚克力制成，我们在室内外的地板上铺上了苔藓，使得玻璃教堂本身能够逐渐融入森林中。

在通往教堂的路上，放置了一件由让-米歇尔·奥托尼尔创作的艺术作品，形状模仿心形，以欢迎来访的客人。

We built a small chapel in Karuizawa aiming for its presence to be blended into the nature of birch trees.

By combining the steel and the trunk of the birch, we designed a structure that might be mistaken for a real birch tree. Branches of a birch are extremely thin, but we stood them at random in the site to support the glass roof of the chapel, and the border between the forest and the building disappeared. Benches in the chapel are made of glass and acrylic, and we spread moss on the floors both inside and outside so that the glass chapel itself could fade away into the forest.

On the approach toward the chapel, Jean-Michel Othoniel’s artwork modeled after the shape of a heart was placed to welcome the guests.
