This final project is about a chapel called "El Roble" located upon a hill in Coelemu, Bío-Bío Region, Chile. All the construction is surrounded by trees for the creation of a quite and peaceful place for religious contemplation for the nearest town. This space can hold 40 seated people; above the altar is a double height area; its structure is a mix of different materials like glass, wood, concrete, stone and steel.

At the outside is where the stone was used; fragments of rubble stone form the stairs, a little path through the grass and the curved retaining wall -that contains the ground from falling down over the structure-. Concrete can be found in the walls that support the roof and at the lower part of the benches and at other simples forms like the altar.

Wood was used for the ceiling, the doors and the top of the seats for the incorporation of the exterior landscape with the interior decoration. There are many windows helping the place to stay illuminate and a door make almost at all with glass but there is a glass panel -that makes at the same time of a wall-, that allows the view from the inside to the outside and backward. And finally we have the roof and the posts that support it make of steel, there are some window's frames also make of it.

Ahead there is a link that will guide you to a video posted by myself at youtube with some pictures of this chapel. []
