BUFS Church Busan South Korea

When we suddenly hear noise in a silent campus, or feel darkness in a bright environment, our senses open; then a quiet force drives us. The design for the BUFS church, the office of international students at Busan University, aims to create a silhouette facing the whole campus and representing the school's ideology. One stroke, one outline and one beam of light are the core concepts of this unique presence. The unique space creates a new relationship open to its surroundings; although not at the center of campus, it is expected to become one of its centers, especially when light fills it and creates a sacred atmosphere. The mountain-strengthening massing forms a building whose shape reinforces ideological expression, through indoor and outdoor materials and warm light that draws students in from across the campus. The chapel has become a landmark on the university campus and is used for graduation ceremonies, worship and quiet reflection, fulfilling the ambition of a beacon for the school.
