建筑

The Architecture

教堂类型属于双通道拱形正统寺庙。建筑项目包括一个Narthex，一个Nave，一个侧过道，一个庇护所和一个假肢。从形态上看，它是受到当地正统教会建筑的启发，而通过一系列创新的建筑方法和材料，它提供了一个当代的例子。因此，整个礼拜堂是通过沿纵轴挤压一段，从而形成一个清晰、轻巧和受欢迎的形状而形成的。

The chapel typology belongs to the double-aisle vaulted orthodox temples. The building program includes a Narthex, a Nave, a side Aisle, a Sanctuary and a Prothesis. Morphologically, it is inspired by the local orthodox ecclesiastical architecture, while, through a series of innovative building methods and materials, it presents a contemporary example. As such, the entire chapel is formed by extruding a section along a longitudinal axis which results in a legible, lightweight and welcoming form.

挤压与建筑物的编程元素相互作用，在体积内创造了复杂的瞬间和丰富的空间。挤压形式的东侧和西侧是开放的，提供有盖的空间，过滤日光和景观。在东侧，一个半圆柱形的，独立的元素托管避难所是插入在卷。在西边，立式百叶窗形成钟塔，为礼拜堂的入口处提供遮阳，而一个5.5米高的大门允许内部与外部合并。最后，由杏仁树识别的景观补充了综合。

The interaction of the extrusion with the programmatic elements of the building creates complex moments and rich spaces within the volume. The east and west sides of the extruded form are left open providing covered spaces filtering daylight and views. On the east side, a semi-cylindrical, self-standing element hosting the sanctuary is inserted in the volume. On the west, vertical louvers, forming the bell-tower, provide shading for the entrance of the chapel while a large 5.5-meter-tall door allows the interior to be merged with the exterior. Finally, the landscape, identified by the almond trees complements the synthesis.

结构

The Structure

钢结构框架和钢筋混凝土墙由一个薄的刚性壳连接在一起，作为一个地震隔膜，构成教堂的复合结构体系。该壳体的总厚度为100 mm，包括隔热层，其结构采用了60年代用于建造薄壳结构和船艇的一种自制复合材料-水泥混凝土。

A steel structural frame and reinforced concrete walls are bound together by a thin rigid shell, acting as a seismic diaphragm, forming the composite structural system of the chapel. The shell has a total thickness of 100 mm, including thermal insulation, and it has been constructed using Ferrocement, a cementious composite used in the 60's for constructing thin shell structures and boats.

材料和建筑技术在塞浦路斯岛上第一次得到恢复和使用，将传统和现代建筑方法结合起来。水泥允许更高的精度和灵活性，以适应自由形状，以低得多的建设成本。

The material and construction techniques have been revived and used for the first time on the island of Cyprus combining traditional and modern construction methods. Ferrocement allows greater precision and flexibility in adapting to the free form shape, at a much lower construction costs.

Iconographies

圣殿壁画和平衡被过滤的入口灯所强调，它穿透教堂的纵向内部。保护区的冲天炉以圣母玛利亚和小基督为特征，塞拉平和基卢姆包围并庆祝。这些数字突出了非常详细的纺织褶皱和大范围的金色阴影。构图由精心设计的几何装饰品补充而成。

The Sanctuary Mural and the Iconostasis are emphasized by the filtered entrance light, which penetrates the longitudinal interior of the Chapel. The cupola of the Sanctuary features Virgin Mary and baby Christ, surrounded and celebrated by Seraphim and Cherubim. The figures are highlighted by the highly detailed textile folds and the large spectrum of golden shades. The composition is complemented by elaborated geometric ornaments.

“圣像平衡”持有基督、圣母玛利亚、使徒彼得和圣海伦的偶像，同时允许通过一些小开口对圣殿壁画进行选择性的观察。

The Iconostasis holds the Icons of Christ, Virgin Mary, Apostle Peter and St. Helen, while allowing selected views to the mural of the Sanctuary through a number of small openings.
