摘要

志を同じくした人々が同じ屋根の下に集い学ぶ。これは学校，教育の基rn本である。場が存在し，コミュニティが生まれ，学問?文化?芸術が生まrnれる。歴史的に教会が「教育の場」であったという事実を踏まえた上で，rn現代においても，教会，学校の持つ社会的使命は共通している。%Peoples of kindred spirit gather together in a single space. This is a basic of education. In this space, they meld a community for study, out of which arises culture and art. School and church, both have the same function historically-to provide a space for education. The design concept of this project is to use space to represent a unifying central symbol to tie together the vitality of the students, faculty, and all people who come into this educational space. There is no partition in this chapel. The space rises to the sky. gazing at a future of brilliance, and filling the mind of the gazer with peace. The circle-shaped sky light expresses eternal prayer. The sun light passes through and fills those belowrnwith light.
