ANALYSIS OF A CHURCH

ANALYSIS OF THE CHURCH "NOSTRA SENYORA DEL CARME" IN TERRASSA, SPAIN
The church is located in the city of Terrassa (Barcelona). Specifically on "Avda. de l'Abat Marcet" (it's a big road that generates noise which can be heard in the main room). This problem is also due to the constructive solution that gives the facade, which has a low insulation.
The position of the church is in the corner, which brings many pluses: widening the sidewalk to make the access more important, better visuals from different points.

DEVELOPING THE ALTAR ZONE OF THE CHURCH
After this first analysis of the church, I decided to delve into the altar area. I wanted to study it because the location and the architectural resolution (the roof and the floor). It's materialized with a plant and an unfolded section, and a full axonometric. It shows the light and the materials.
 
 
 
CONCEPTUAL MODEL ABOUT THE ALTAR
The last part consisted in performing a conceptual model of the area (the altar) to show the side entrances of the light. Also to make the space that you feel when you observe the roof and the floor at the same time.
