Handong University Prayer Room Heaven's Voice / Itm Yooehwa Architects - Image 2 of 19© Yongkwan Kim

Text description provided by the architects. The prayer room “Heaven’s Voice” at Handong University began as a project initiated by a donation from an elder of a local church. While there were several potential sites for a chapel on campus, the current location was chosen without hesitation. To the eyes of the architect, who is also a Christian, the overall shape of Handong University resembled a sheep, and a small hill at its heart caught his attention. This site is strategically positioned, visible from surrounding campus buildings, and the intention was to inscribe the cross from a heavenly perspective, rather than from the human eye level.
