Congratulations to Moto Designshop on winning the Gold Award for their St. Joseph’s Arrupe Hall Project.
Inspired by the Gregorian Calendar, the chapel form takes on a curvilinear form,based on geometric studies. The brick pattern further explores the initial geometries of form, then morphing to create a veil, filtering light and views.
Arrupe Hall is a community building, it is a place for living, learning, working,and worshiping. A home for Jesuits and a hub for apostolic life in Philadelphia,the building fosters connections and collaboration across all city ministries.
Each brick is a consistent unit of construction that represents a consistent unit of time. The meaning and materials work in concert to give the structure a human scale while connecting it to a larger human narrative.
