The Design
About Coast Whale 예배당
고래의 생체 공학적 형태가이 예배당의 언어가되었습니다. 아이슬란드 해안에 좌초 된 고래. 사람은 낮은 물고기 꼬리를 통해 몸에 들어가서 고래가 바다를 바라 보는 시각을 경험할 수 있으며, 이곳에서 인간은 환경 파괴의 소홀함을 쉽게 반성 할 수 있습니다. 지지 구조물은 자연 환경에 대한 피해를 최소화하기 위해 해변에 떨어집니다. 자연적이고 환경 친화적 인 재료로 인해이 프로젝트는 환경 보호를 요구하는 관광지가되었습니다.

- As a temporary and yet to be completed project, the supporting structure falls on the beach to ensure minimal damage to the natural environment. The black wood echoes the traditional way of Iceland. Natural and environmentally friendly materials make this project a tourist destination that calls for environmental protection and saves whales. The church used dark natural light as much as possible to direct the sight to the ocean. Here you can admire Iceland's most famous black beach.

- Design Challenge
- There is only a strong adaptive solution. You can see very good built environment and important indicators to attract tourists.
- Research
- The building is closely related to the site, regardless of the form and construction of the whale. The adjustable nodes are adapted to the geological conditions of the beach and can even be temporarily moved according to the extreme weather in Iceland. This house is like a swimming whale that can change the floor height according to the tide of the season.
- Inspiration
- The ocean and the fate of humanity have been linked from a very early age. As a higher life form on land and sea, human's longing for whale has always existed in the heart. The bionic form of the whale became the language of this chapel. A whale stranded on the coast of Iceland. A person can enter its body through a low fishtail and experience the perspective of a whale looking at the ocean. The waves and the inner voice meet here. In such a space, it is easier for humans to reflect on the neglect of environmental degradation.
- Project Duration
- This project was developed in Porto, Portugal, during a period of 3 months, from December 2019 to January 2020. The location planned for the project to be implemented was in Iceland.
- Operation Flow
- What is the most important thing about landscape architecture? The possible answer is respect and integration with the environment. The concept of expressing chapel in a bionic whale response to this topic. Tourism has caused irreversible damage to Iceland's natural environment. While watching the scenery, tourists can also feel the noble place of other life in such a narrow space. It will not be limited by the scale of the project and has profound and long-term significance.
