La Sainte Chapelle, built in April 1248, in Paris, France, was an architectural innovation in the Gothic style. In the Gothic style, there are distinct attributes that define it, namely: a light and airy interior space, flying buttresses, pointed arches, vaulted ceilings and a large tall design (fig 2) ¬¬¬¬. An evolution of the Romanesque style, the Gothic rises towards the sky in a freer and more edifying space. The novel is known for features such as: tall towers, decorative forms, sturdy pillars, thick walls and overall massive qualities (Fig. 1). This feeling of lightness is achieved thanks to numerous innovations which lead to a more open design within Gothic cathedrals (Fig. 2). The sacred space inside the cathedrals had many angles, planes and a strong contrast between light and shadow. The sanctuary of Sainte Chapelle is a sacred place because it demonstrates the design requirements of a sacred space through its manipulation of light, spatial layout and structure. In the design of a sacred space, the quality, manipulation and effect of light within the chapel are very important. important for creating a spiritual atmosphere. Light has a real meaning other than the amount of light that leaves it but, as a spiritual power, capable of exerting influence and inspiring architectural form (Fig. 3) (Jantzen, Pg. 67). As Shiner describes, when designing a sacred space, you very much consider the concept of secular space and sacred space in light of the analysis of human spatiality (Shiner, p. 425). The essence of Gothic architecture has above all to do with the revelation of the properties of light not only for its decorative properties but also for its symbolic properties (Aldrich, p. 24). Due to the vault...... middle of paper ......path with the morning passing through the apse and throughout the day moving slowly towards the rear rose window (fig 8). Providing this light to the altar gives a more heavenly feel and connects your loved ones to God. Since the sermons take place in the morning, the most divine light coming from the apse directly onto the altar makes it the ideal location. The Sainte Chapelle exemplifies the structure of Gothic architecture and really shows what all structural innovations can do to create an open atmosphere inside. the chapel. In a sacred space, its structure must have a feeling of lightness in order to convey the sense of spirit, as Shiner says; “It uses the products of the machine to triumph over the purely mechanical and functional, to restore the spirit of the waters, the earth and the woods, and to shelter and give free space to the spirit of man. » (Mene, page. 431).
