The purpose of this project was to create was to greate a chapel design that would be build in Farmingdale State College Csmpus. The light of day had to be taken in consideration because it would influence the design of the chapel and the lighting that would go inside.

Background Research

Inside, the main entrance is located on the short axis of the church and directly faces the high altar. The oval form of the main congregational space of the church is defined by the wall, pilasters, and entablature, which frame the side chapels and the golden dome above

Bernini received the commission in 1658, and the church was constructed in 1661, although the interior decoration was not finished until 1670. The site previously accommodated a 16th-century church, Sant'Andrea a Montecavallo.
