Resurgence Oinarrizko Funtzioa: Eliza Diseinuari Buruz

Liburuaren Testua: Resurgence Altadenan sortutako eliza berri bat da, suteen osteko berreraikuntza beharrei erantzuten diena. Diseinuak inguruko mendiak hartzen ditu erreferentziatzat, forma bertikal eta zizelkatuen bidez. Hormigoiak, beirak eta lorategiz apaindutako patioek definitzen dituzte barruko espazioak, egun-argia ekarriz eta lasaitasunezko inguruneak sortuz. Proiektuak gurtza-guneak komunitatearen instalazioekin uztartzen ditu, praktika espirituala nahiz gizarte-elkarreragina egiteko espazioak eskainiz. Tokiko testuingurua islatzen du, komunitatearen jarduera anitzei lekua egiten dien bitartean.

Diseinuaren Atzean

Diseinatzaileak emandako kredituak, taldekideak eta xehetasun teknikoak.

Propietate Bereziak: 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.
Neurriak eta Ontziratzea: Single story building with overall dimensions of 45 meters in width, 45 meters in depth, and 18 meters in height.
Etiketak: Community renewal, cultural architecture, fluid form, concrete and light interplay, atrium with skylight, courtyard garden
Produkzio Teknologia: 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.
Diseinu Erronka: 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.
Ikerketa: 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.
Inspirazioa: 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.
Proiektuaren Iraupena: The project started in August 2025 and was completed in December 2025
Eragiketa Fluxua: 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.
