Adoration Chapel

Fall 2020 Studio 1, Ink/Watercolor Wash.

In this project, we were tasked with transforming an existing classroom into an Adoration Chapel, designing an entryway into the chapel, and designing a courtyard and staircase leading to the chapel entrance. I decided to design the exterior in a vernacularized Doric mode, matching the Romanesque church to the south. For the interior, I designed in the Corinthian mode, which I believed was fitting for a chapel dedicated to adoring Our Lord.
