-

Ribbon Chapel is situated in Hiroshima, Japan, designed by Japanese Architect Hiroshi Nakamura of NAP Architects. He conceptualized one of the soulful bond in his designing of this chapel i.e. marriage. It is absolutely evident from the high interlaced stairs of chapel which symbolizes the agreement of two souls going to heaven. Those white stairs coming out from opposite direction and intertwined with each other and become till it reach to the top. Ribbon Chapel is constructed in midst of a perfect location which proved as a best place for the manifestation of love. It is situated on the garden of Bella Vista Sakaigahama- a resort hotel in Onomichi, Hiroshima-comes with a beautiful background of hills and Japan’s Seto inland sea. It was opened in 2013.

The Ribbon chapel is 15.5 m high. Its construction took place over the site area of 2500 m2. It covers the area of 80.0 sqm. The stand out quality of Ribbon chapel is it’s single building which don’t has any separate room or place within. The intertwined spiral stairs does the function of roof, floor and wall. The only separate place here is the aisle which faced towards the symbol tree with 80 seats to sit. This whole sitting area leads to alter with the backdrop of symbol tree. The main material which is used in construction of spiral stairs cum straps are wood which is painted in white and curving titanium zinc alloy hand rests to prevent erosion from sea breeze. To move the window glass pane conveniently during any strong wind or earthquake, the pane is supported by dot point glazing (DPG) arms of inner side of chapel.
As chapel is symbolic of unity of two souls but there is one more reason that two separate horizontal staircases has created. It is to balance the chapel. It does the function of pillar because the spiral horizontal stairs is itself a single structural entity. To balance the building from both the side, two staircases are created. The outer stairway joins with inner stairways at upper side. Steel frame is intact at the upper side which increases the weight of building. In order to decrease the weight a pendulum type of isolation device has been in chapel.

  The process of pre-construction and conceptual design process is a long seen work that cannot be avoided and it is due to the size of the project. In the past, the traditional method, as well as early architectural concepts and designs, were known to be a lengthier process and for the same, the discussion for the same too was taking a lot of time. Not only this but the owner and architect both need to have a discussion on various channels and also if there are any changes required to be done to an existing facility.   It is very much necessary that before the start of the project there should be an early conversation between the two parties as this stage is the reason for any project's success. This is where the task of 5D BIM Services comes into the picture. This stage of work helps in evaluating the conceptual design, and then at the later stage assessing the overall project's budget and its schedule. Thus, this is the process in which the building needs to assign the work
