这是由Gould Evans设计的圣特蕾莎学院中心。这是一所天主教独立学院女子预读学校，为主校园区提供新的教堂和学术空间。建筑师与学生、教员沟通和观察过后，设计了一种柔软的、女性化的适于沉思的教堂视觉空间，阳光满溢，自然和谐。整个设计最重要的就是平衡，平衡神圣与世俗的核心价值观，平衡学校的虔诚信仰与高科技教室及宴会设施等。150座的教堂和教学楼创建了一个新的精神和学术中心。设计团队使用了铝制花边表皮，对材料进行了试验和数字制作，创建了花边网格表皮激励。材料、饰面和数字机械均经过严格计算、测试和加工，以确保教堂优雅的、流线型的有机形态。

This Catholic independent college preparatory school for young women wanted to add a new chapel and academic space on the main campus quadrangle. After surveying students and faculty, a vision for the chapel emerged as a soft, feminine, contemplative space flooded with light and connected to nature. There was a strong desire to connect to the narrative of St. Teresa, the patron saint of lace makers.

Important throughout the design process was balance. Achieving harmony between sacred and secular is the very essence of the school’s mission, and was the charge facing the design team. The challenge was reinforced by the duality of the program, which combines the school’s spiritual heart with technology-rich classrooms and banquet facilities.

Gould Evans developed the design solution to honor the school’s history and embody the vision of a modern institution for women’s education. The chapel’s soft dappled light and feminine lines of its lace veil, pulled across the simple interior palette, is balanced by the defined brick mass of the classrooms, which visually ties the building form to the existing academic campus. The two volumes are unified by a shared lobby that enables the sacred and secular to co-mingle.

The 150-seat chapel and classroom building creates a new spiritual and academic center for the school that is progressive yet rooted in its history. The design creates a balance between the sacred and secular academic programs, exemplifying the core values of the school. Based on a survey of students and faculty, the vision for the chapel emerged as a soft, feminine, contemplative space of worship flooded with light and connected to nature, while connecting to the narrative of St. Teresa, the patron saint of lace makers. The state-of-the-art classrooms spaces also serve as a banquet space when combined; they are housed in a soft-edged brick form with tall windows responds to existing campus buildings. The sacred and secular elements come together as one rich architecture that not only completes the open end of the campus quad, but also serves as the new gateway to campus.

ALUMINUM LACE FABRICATION. The design team conducted material experimentation and digital fabrication explorations to translate the concept of creating a lace scrim into built form. Material, finish and digital and mechanical tolerances were all precisely coordinated and tested with the fabricator to ensure an elegant translation of the organic design onto the chapel’s waterjet cut aluminum panels.
