Program
requirements
are
set
to
accommodate
missionaries’
short
stays,
staff
offices,
classrooms,
church
service
auditorium,
kitchens
and
coffee
shop,
and
all
other
common
spaces
such
as
toilet,
elevator
lobbies,
parking
space,
etc.
Besides
needs
on
those
functions,
the
most
rigorous
restriction
in
our
design
proposal
was
the
construction
budget.
The
only
sponsor
who
donated
for
this
project
was
the
church
paster
himself
since
the
ministry
was
only
focused
on
students.
Our
design
is
to
be
mostly
functional
and
the
space
has
to
be
minimized
yet
maximized
to
meet
the
low
cost
construction
method
by
following
the
local
building
code
as
well as the need to increase the visual awareness to express the church’s unique presence among the region.
By
regional
building
code
requirements,
the
1st
floor
was
setback
for
parking
space
for
this
building
size.
2nd
floor
and
3rd
floor
are
designed
to
include
classrooms,
coffee
shop,
short
stays
for
missionaries
as
well
as
offices.
Lastly,
4th
floor
is
designed
for
the
church
service
to
include
250~300
people
for
Friday,
Saturday
&
Sunday services.
The
featured
aluminum
metal
fins
attached
to
the
exterior
curtain
wall
are
to
express
the
letter
‘MI’
as
the
gesture
to
continue
the
design
element.
Thus,
porous
metal
panel
attached
at
L4
was
to
cover
the
corrugate
metal panel which was placed to increase thermal insulation as well as to reduce the cost of the wall structure.
