FAREWELL CHAPEL APAČE

The farewell chapel (incl. a small ethnol.- sacral display) responds to the horizontal nature of Pannonian plains, expressing the theme’s contemplative character. Its main interior space is the hall with a skylight volume above it. A big plywood perforated sliding door defines the membrane between inside and outside, its pattern connects local and universal references. The hall’s orientation (towards east) with its trapezoid form plays with neutralization of perspective principles and focuses towards a table and a “paravan” (with integrated glass paintings in it). Original lights hang from the ceiling (in a scheme of Orion). All the furniture ( seats, table, exhibition cabinet, lights, catafalks, book, candle and wrath stand, Cross...) was specially designed. They were produced in mostly local materials, executed by local masters. Through creation of a bright, warm and optimistic space atmosphere, we wanted to support one’s hope when facing eternal life-death dilemmas.
