For the new chapel at the InnKlinikum Mühldorf, designed as a tilted, perforated concrete cube, we were responsible for the integral digital planning. The project, a collaboration with the artist duo Empfangshalle, required a seamless coordination between complex 3D-relief geometry and the underlying structural framework.
The interior of the chapel is defined by a relief-like wall structure embedded with over a hundred glass cylinders. We utilized a computational workflow to program the distribution of these light points, ensuring a consistent horizontal alignment within the tilted wall surfaces. This digital model served as the direct basis for the 3D-milled formwork used for the precast concrete elements. To realize the slanted geometry of the cube, the structural engineering had to be closely coupled with the geometric definition. Our scope included engineering the steel skeleton and its integration into the high-weight concrete relief. Coordination of component thicknesses, structural frames, and joints, ensuring a “ready-to-assemble” fit for all prefabricated elements through digital tolerance management and pre-assembly verification.
The project demonstrates an integrated approach where geometry and structural engineering are developed in a single digital environment to ensure the feasibility of unconventional spatial structures.
