Y Dyluniad

Am Resurgence Prif Swyddogaeth: Eglwys

Testun y Llyfr: Mae Resurgence yn eglwys newydd yn Altadena sy'n ymateb i anghenion ailadeiladu ar ôl tanau gwyllt. Mae'r cynllun yn cyfeirio at y mynyddoedd o amgylch trwy ffurfiau fertigol, cerfluniedig. Mae concrit, gwydr, a chwrtiau tirlunio yn diffinio'r mannau mewnol, gan ddod â golau dydd i mewn a chreu amgylcheddau tawel. Mae'r prosiect yn cyfuno mannau addoli â chyfleusterau cymunedol, gan ddarparu mannau ar gyfer ymarfer ysbrydol a rhyngweithio cymdeithasol fel ei gilydd. Mae'n adlewyrchu'r cyd-destun lleol tra'n cynnwys amrywiaeth o weithgareddau cymunedol.

Credydau, aelodau tîm a manylion technegol a ddarparwyd gan y dylunydd.

Priodweddau Unigryw: Resurgence is a contemporary church in Altadena, conceived as a spiritual and cultural catalyst after the wildfire. Inspired by surrounding mountain ridges, its sculpted concrete form rises vertically toward light-filled skylights, expressing renewal. A skylight atrium and courtyard weave nature, light, and community together, uniting sacred worship and civic life in a resilient beacon of collective healing and hope.
Dimensiynau a Phecynnu: Single story building with overall dimensions of 45 meters in width, 45 meters in depth, and 18 meters in height.
Tagiau: Community renewal, cultural architecture, fluid form, concrete and light interplay, atrium with skylight, courtyard garden
Technoleg Cynhyrchu: Materiality and light shape the design. Concrete as the primary material, conveys weight and dignity while its smooth surfaces create a clean, harmonious space. A skylight courtyard and meditation garden establish a quiet dialogue between architecture and nature. Glass curtain walls guide daylight into the interior, forming a sacred, serene atmosphere. As light moves through the vertical spaces, it brings a continuous sense of ceremony and spiritual tension.
Her Dylunio: The project faced the challenge of balancing spiritual, social, and cultural needs after wildfire loss. Internally, it required understanding Altadena’s history, community trauma, and collective memory. Externally, constraints included building codes, material limits, daylighting technology, and construction feasibility. Overcoming these involved iterative modeling, community feedback, and innovative use of concrete and glass to create a resilient, meaningful, and functional design.
Ymchwil: Type of Research: Applied architectural and social research. Objectives: Explore architecture’s role in post-wildfire community renewal. Methodology: Community engagement, iterative modeling. Tools: Site analysis, surveys, models, 3D simulations. Participants: Residents, church leaders, community groups. Results and Insights: Mountain-inspired forms, light, and open spaces foster spiritual and social connection. Impact: Strengthens cohesion, cultural life, and human-centered design practices.
Ysbrydoliaeth: The design was inspired by Altadena’s post-wildfire recovery and the site’s mountainous landscape. I studied topography, light behavior, and community rebuilding models to shape a form that abstracts surrounding ridges into a vertical, light-filled sanctuary. Research into trauma-informed spaces and passive daylighting informed the atrium, courtyard, and concrete massing, creating a resilient structure that fosters healing, unity, and spiritual renewal.
Hyd y Prosiect: The project started in August 2025 and was completed in December 2025
Llif Gweithrediad: This project operates through spatial flow and light manipulation. Its atrium and skylights transform daylight into dynamic patterns, guiding movement and fostering contemplation. Interaction occurs as visitors move between worship, community, and meditation spaces, experiencing shifts in scale, light, and material. Key frames include entrance, atrium, courtyard, and sanctuary. By harmonizing architecture, light, and landscape, it enhances spiritual and social engagement.
