Suzhou Chapel by Neri&Hu Design and Research Office is a religious architecture whose language is inspired from components present elsewhere in the project such as the undulating brick walls and floating white bulk, but it elevates them to a new degree of expression. As the various wall heights entwine with one another to create a carefully organised landscape trip leading to the actual structure, the brick walls begin to disintegrate at a finer scale.

The goal was to start by establishing the underground structure as a “depth” reference.
