CNSTRCTN Vol. XI, #2 On the Wings of Imagination.

Memories, like birds--fleeting.  They must be grasped and held in heart's hands

A better idea of small windows in the sanctuary comes with this photo.  Note the number and that what you are seeing is only the right side of the sanctuary area.  The other side has the same number but not in a symmetrical pattern.  (Asymmetry keeps us on our visual toes, but may not satisfy those who like all their
ducks in an orderly row, or don't like visual surprises.  Understood.)



Moving inside the old chapel space, the viewer gets a hint of where the new entrance to the chapel from the outside, will be.  Seeing the honeycomb wall on the right of this photo helps to locate the area in the back of the old chapel.  The door across the presumed entrance hallway is a new door--never there before.  It is roughly where the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was.  Notice the top of the photo; you've seen that ceiling before, you may recall, in photos of the room-like structure inside the chapel, and to the right of the future entrance from the hallway.  (Keep your imaginations in good shape, remember.)  Blogger won't leave you totally in suspension, however.  Therefore...


Behold the room-like structure with the two mystery doors (not really) on the upper level.The door on the right wall will come from the elevator area (yes, it will stop on the 1 1/2 level),
while the door on the left will open up in the hallway on that level.  This may be an area you have never been on, but it IS there and holds various administrative offices and a large meeting
room.  If you can do some mental dancing around here, you may be able to get a good notion of the floor plan of this area.  The new part of the chapel, by the way, extends out to the right off this photo and toward the soccer field.


You're doing well.  Now to substantiate the mental images you've been working hard on...
What you're seeing in this photo is the scaffolding for the construction of the elevator tower.  In-between the scaffolding and the chapel wall will be the path to the outside entrance to the
chapel hall, a nice accommodation for people coming for a
religious function or a quicker access to the offices in the east
hallway.  Also you note that scaffolding extends laterally toward you, which means that it is in front of classroom windows, therefore classroom space.  The plot thickens.  But that is for another day.

It's pretty obvious that much thought has been given to all this.  Blogger continues to be utterly amazed at the mastery of detail and ingenuity of the builders.  We trust we will remain in awe of the same.  Au revoir.
