Eco Chapel - Leaf

Q: What type of design project is "Eco Chapel - Leaf"?

The “Leaf” expresses a renewed conception of space, an incursion of nature into a strongly urbanized territory connected in actions and thoughts to nature. The design of a chapel and a forest in an eco perspective. A green avenue around which germinate buildings, evoking the forms of seeds and giving space to contemplation, prayer, leisure and laboratory.

An Urban Forest

Cities need to re-born and be alive, to make the world better again. Forest in town means that other forests can grow in town and each can make the place all living creatures can find a relationship. From Tewahedo tradition of the chapel in the forest we found the inspiration and a proof that this relationship is still possible and we should never forget.

It strives to act as the link between nature and culture to raise cultural awareness of the environment and deforestation in Ethiopia

Beyond the tree

The project is intended as an architectural interpretation of the tree. A break out of time and moments disconnected from the urban frenzy are established through the work of three interiorities. The tree becomes a project vector, a tool for designing space, sculpting architecture, orienting the believer and sequencing the path of a new chapel.
