RLJ 教堂

项目RLJ教堂位于哈利斯科州的圣胡安-科萨拉，是一个活动和接待场所总体规划的一部分。设计师最初的策略是基于将建筑融入其周边环境，使其适应场地的地形并尊重现有的植被。裸露材料的使用是这个项目的特点，裸露的混凝土和钢材是主要材料，与该地区的木材、采石场和石材等天然材料形成对比。为了促进社区融合，小教堂的通道位于在主干道上，这样居民和游客就可以进入建筑，尽管它位于一个私人地块。 

Located in San Juan Cosalá, Jalisco, RLJ Chapel consists of a religious building that is part of a master plan for an events and hospitality venue. Our initial strategy is based on integrating the building into its immediate context, adapting it to the site’s topography and respecting the existing vegetation. The use of exposed materials is what defines the project, being the exposed concrete and steel the main materials, contrasting with natural materials such as wood, quarry and stone from the region. To promote the community integration, the chapel’s access was projected over the main road, in such a way the inhabitants and visitors could access the building despite being located in a private plot. 

在外面，该项目有一个天井通道，作为一个中庭，用雕刻的石头建造，并与厕所、圣器室和小教堂的内部相通。这个公共空间被两个巨大的石头和混凝土构件所包围，将山地景观的视野框住。

Outside, the project has an access patio that works as an atrium, built with carved stone, and communicates to the restrooms, the sacristy and the chapel’s interior. This common space is surrounded by two massive elements of stone and concrete, that frames the view towards the mountain landscape.

主体部分由两面巨大的混凝土墙和一个塑造屋顶的钢结构组成。这个开放的结构被设计成一个双坡屋顶，变成一个扁平的屋顶。内部由12个可容纳72人的木椅、唱诗班区和祭坛区组成。

The main volume is formed by two large concrete walls and a steel structure that shapes the roof. This open structure was designed as a double-pitched roof that changes into a flattened roof. The interior is composed of 12 wood benches for 72 people, a choir area and the altar area.

混凝土墙被扩展到容纳一个无顶的庭院，它与地下墓室相通，并在中间悬挂着一个内部设计和制造的钢制十字架。这个天井的底部是一个粉红色的石墙，设计了一个几何形状的路径，强调了天井的深度。 

The concrete walls are extended to house an uncovered courtyard -that communicates to the underground crypts-, and holds in the middle a steel cross suspended, which was designed and manufactured in-house. This patio crowns to the bottom with a pink stone wall designed with a geometrical path that emphasizes the patio's depth. 

我们的目标是创造一个由小教堂的基本元素定义的物质性和简单性的礼拜场所，自然光的入口和纹理的游戏创造了一个宁静和情感的环境。

Our objective was to create a place of worship with a materiality and simplicity defined by a chapel’s essential elements, where the natural light entrance and play of textures creates a serene and emotive environment.
