  • Sunset Chapel by BNKR Arquitectura

    Sunset Chapel by BNKR Arquitectura

    The hills of Acapulco, Mexico, are covered in granite boulders. Raised high above the surrounding vegetation, the stark concrete of BNKR Arquitectura’s memorial Sunset Chapel mimetically embodies the strength and solidity of the massive stones. The main window of the chapel looks towards the port city of Acapulco, once famed as a playground for America’s rich and famous but now a place of fading glitz and glamour. While there are still many beach resorts, the city is now notorious for drug related violence. The city’s change of fortune reflects the philosophy behind the Sunset Chapel: a place where endings are contemplated and the continuing glory of nature’s endless cycle of decay and renewal is celebrated.

  • Infinity Chapel by Hanrahan Meyers Architects

    Infinity Chapel by Hanrahan Meyers Architects

    A chapel is a vessel for faith – a room, building or space standing between the real world and a higher transcendence for all believers. It is a place of sanctuary. When Hanrahan Meyers Architects (hMa) designed Infinity Chapel for the Tenth Church of Christ, Scientist, they created something truly special. The place of worship was guided by perfect geometries, pure materials and mathematical principles; resulting in sensuous surfaces of curves in light. What has been created is an intimate space where the real world, sanctuary and spirit are one through architecture that captivates the soul.

  • Kuokkala Church by Lassila Hirvilammi

    Kuokkala Church by Lassila Hirvilammi

    Here’s the church, here’s steeple, open the door and see all the people. As warm and nostalgic as that childhood nursery rhyme, Kuokkala Church recalls the memory of a traditional church, but with a refined, contemporary twist. With the advent of religious architecture today taking forms at both extremes of either modernist boxes or deconstructivist shards, Kuokkala Church is appropriate. The response of architects Lassila Hirvilammi strikes a fine balance between referencing the past and suggesting the future, bringing together a community at large – physically, emotionally and spiritually. Simple and elegant, evocative architecture is at work.
