Appreciation towards Di Vece arquitectos for providing the following description:

一个倚水的轻白教堂，撑起矩形屋顶无序的细柱被照亮时，宛如切入尘世的圣光。圣光，可以打破笼罩这个黑暗世界的浑浊与雾霭。

The architectonic concept for this ecumenical chapel is that the countless columns that disorderly support the rectangular roof for the chapel, are conceived as an analogy of a group of filaments that, when lit with the proper energy, can illuminate our earthly lives with a glimpse of heavenly light.

特蕾莎修女说通过祈祷我们人类自身也能变成圣光。就像灯丝不通电就不会发亮，我们就是灯丝，上帝就是电，我们通过这种力量可以成为世界的光。

这个教堂位于住宅区腹地，提醒住户精神世界是十分重要的，居民应在这里找到归属，通过这里而发光发热。教堂十分轻盈开放，被环境完全渗透，仿佛是环境中一个半透明的存在，在日光下产生微妙迷人的变化，人们可以随时随地到这个舒适的教堂中。

“精神”不是少数人通过到达神殿得到的奢侈品，大家应该把这种状态变成日常，在生活中成为具有正能量的人，积极改变他人。

The architectonic concept for this ecumenical chapel is that the countless columns that disorderly support the rectangular roof for the chapel, are conceived as an analogy of a group of filaments that, when lit with the proper energy, can illuminate our earthly lives with a glimpse of heavenly light.

According to Pythagoras “this world is false and illusive, a turbid medium in which the rays of heavenly light are broken and obscured in mist and darkness”.

On the other hand, Mother Teresa tells us that through constant prayer we can become an instrument of the divine light that illuminates the world. “The filaments of the light bulbs are useless if they are not energized.

You, me, are filaments.
The energy is God.
We have the possibility of letting this energy pass through ourselves and let it utilize us in order to produce light for the world”.

This ecumenical chapel takes advantage of its central position within the residential development to remind its users that spiritual life has become a forgotten priority in our everyday activities; the chapel takes the central stage of the development in order to emphasize the possibility of making the act of praying a useful habit that cannot only help each one of its inhabitants find their own path in life, but also to help everyone of them become an energized filament which produces light for the world.

This chapel is configured as a lightweight structure, almost ephemeral, that makes itself accessible for everyone at anytime; the chapel dissolves its boundaries in order to impregnate itself of its immediate surroundings and becomes a semi transparent object difficult to idealize. This building performs as a character that acts under the effects of light, that changes with sunlight, that becomes enhanced by its users and celebrates its mission as a catalyst of the everyday activities proper of this residential development.

Furthermore, spirituality is no longer a luxury for a few, that can only be achieved through a scheduled visit to a sacred site, but it could become a usual state of mind that transforms our everyday lives and becomes one positive influence for the world that surrounds its users.
