Student: Ottavia Franceschini Grisolia, FS24

A 1:20 plaster study model of Go Hasegawa's Chapel in Guastalla, depicting a curved perimeter wall composed of repeating pilasters and arched niches. Cast in white synthetic plaster, the model foregrounds the rhythmic play of convex pilasters and concave arch recesses that define the character of the chapel's interior surface. The section-like fragment reveals the wall thickness and niche depth but omits roof, floor, and interior fittings, focusing attention on the spatial and tectonic logic of the wall assembly.
