Title:
Faith, Nature, and Design - Rene Bernal
Description:
"Every weekend, I bring my family to River Park to walk and jog around. By accident, I discovered this hidden sanctuary chapel—a unique gem with stunning, photogenic architecture that feels like a peaceful escape in the middle of the city. The chapel seamlessly integrates nature with design, set amidst lush greenery atop a hill. The shape of each building was inspired by the white lily flower, a symbol of purity associated with the Virgin Mary. Six petal-shaped planes are seamlessly blended to create a continuous surface serving as both walls and roof. Designed by award-winning Japanese architectural firm Hiroshi Nakamura." River Park in Filinvest City, Muntinlupa City, Philippines.
