當(dāng)人們步入日本“長崎Agri 高原酒店”的婚禮小教堂，眾人目光必然被復(fù)雜的空間桁架所吸引。在結(jié)構(gòu)上，木制的柱子支撐著教堂的屋頂和三角穹圓頂，令人聯(lián)想到大浦天主堂的尖拱及拱門；據(jù)說，長崎的大浦天主堂是全日本最古老的教堂。支柱結(jié)構(gòu)可分為三層：底層有四條支柱，每條分別延伸出八條對角分支，支撐起中層；中層有八條支柱，每條分別延伸出八條對角分支，支撐起上層；上層有十六條支柱，每條分別延伸出八條對角分支。整個結(jié)構(gòu)形成至關(guān)重要的多邊形桁架，合力撐起重達(dá)25噸的屋頂。桁架主要以木材制成，并以鋼筋加固。教堂四面的巨型玻璃墻把自然光引進(jìn)來；加上室內(nèi)開放式的設(shè)計，室外的自然景觀一覽無遺。當(dāng)愛侶在其下許下誓言及交換戒指，昵稱“森林之約”的幾何形桁架，便儼如出自神明之手的大自然杰作。受到祝福的情侶在這迷人的地方舉行婚禮，必會成為他們畢身難忘的回憶。

As people enter the Nagasaki Aguri no Oka Kogen Hotel’s wedding chapel in Nagasaki, Japan, their eyeballs will assuredly be riveted by its intricate space frame truss work. Structurally, the arboreal pillars support the chapel’s roof and pendentive dome, but they also evoke the pointed arches and rib vaults of the Oura Catholic Church, Nagasaki’s Roman Catholic Basilica, which is believed to be Japan’s oldest. There are three layers of pillars. The bottom layer consists of four pillars, and each of which branches out to form eight diagonal frames. Supported by the frames of the bottom layer, the middle layer consists of eight pillars,each of which branches out to form eight diagonal frames. The top layer is similarly supported by the layer of pillars and branches directly underneath it,and comprises sixteen pillars that branch out to form eight diagonal frames. The framework becomes the vital polygonal trusses that support the 25-tonne roof.Made mainly out of lumber, the frames are reinforced with steel rods. Immense glass walls on all four sides of the chapel brings natural lights in, and as the natural landscape is clearly visible throughout the open floor plan. The geometric truss work, nicknamed “the Forest of Oath”, under which wedding vows are made and rings are exchanged, appears to be a work of nature that could only be perfected by a divine hand. Blessed couples getting married in this mesmerising space will have many memorable moments to look back to.
