Elevations, Retaining Walls, and Flexibility are the definitions of the site, Revelation. The formation of the retaining walls were merged with the figure grounds (created before the introduction to the site) to create a mix of a natural developed landscape and a man-made landscape. This development introduced a site that has elevated levels of ground which some are accessible to the visitors and some are not. These elevations create a story that has a beginning. a climax, and a resolution.This site establishes two chapels that are emerging from the subtle folds of the topography. One of the chapels emerges from the ground and it is known as Flexibilitate. The second chapel, which is the site’s icon, sits on the site, yet it is still connected to an underground level that hides inside the topography. This chapel is known as Illumination and it is iconic for its exterior structure and interior world.
