Ordering principles in religious architecture : a campus chapel

Abstract

This project brouchure contains the final design presentation and process for a campus chapel for Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. The thesis was constructed around ordering principles in religious architecture, in particular, the order of procession and a system of proportions.The campus chapel will provide the many different religious organizations a place to congregate and share their common beliefs and fellowship in Jesus Christ our Lord. There is also a religious ministries complex that will house meeting areas for individual group study and fellowship, counseling offices, a coffee house, and administrative offices for religious service.This final project is representative of approximately thirty weeks of work including historic research, building analysis, programming, and the search for a sense of order in built form.
