教堂位于卢旺达偏远山区的一片高原之上，被原始森林环绕——一处无人打扰的静谧之地。
面对如此丰茂的自然，任何轻微的介入都可能打破这里的纯粹。我们不希望添加一座标志性建筑，而是将建筑视为衬托环境的"背景幕布"，让它成为自然的"协调者"，通过新的介入重建人工与自然的关系。
教堂被设定为单纯的几何体。唯一可识别的形体是从长方形基座上生长而出的"拉丁十字"屋架。"十字形"既提示了宗教建筑的功能，也表达了设计对环境的理解——在广袤旷野之上，教堂成为一个"锚点"与"坐标"，建立起东南西北四个维度的方向性。
教堂空白的外观节制而克制——人造空间只是背景，自然环境才是主角。不同方向的开口将外部景观引入室内，自然成为建筑几何构成的一部分，使内部成为一处充满光和神性的空间。同时，设计希望空间承载社区功能。看似单纯的几何体，当人的元素加入后，便拥有了复杂的一面。当地居民和神职人员可在此静思、会面、举办社区活动。
当建筑与自然、人性与神性在此相遇交织，随着时间生长变幻，教堂成为了一处内在的风景。

Rwanda Chapel
Area: 288 ㎡
Location: Rwanda
Year: 2019
Status: Concept Proposal
The chapel sits on a highland plateau in rural Rwanda, surrounded by pristine forest—a quiet place undisturbed.
Faced with such abundant nature, any intervention risks disruption. We did not want to add a landmark, but to make the building a "backdrop"—a mediator that recalibrates the relationship between artificial and natural.
The chapel is conceived as pure geometry. The only recognizable form is a Latin cross roof rising from a rectangular base. The cross signals religious function and establishes orientation—an anchor and coordinate in the vast wilderness.
The blank exterior is restrained—human-made space as background, nature as protagonist. Openings in multiple directions frame external views, making nature part of the geometric composition and filling the interior with light. Beyond worship, the space is designed to serve the community. The simple geometry takes on complexity when people engage—locals and clergy can meditate, meet, and hold community gatherings.
Here, architecture and nature, humanity and divinity, meet and intertwine. As the building weathers and grows with time, the chapel becomes an inner landscape—a place of quiet contemplation.
