Forest Chapel

The chapel was created as a reflection on the “Contemporary Sacral Art” course of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art, and is not afliated with any denomination. It was built after months of planning by fve architecture students and one graphics major, in the space of seven days, through the work of forty participants. The elliptical structure opening up to the sky, made of seven layers of bent and glued planks, appears to almost float above the landscape on twelve barely visible iron legs, but remains below the level of the tree canopy. In the enclosed space, a concrete altar of thanksgiving covered with a blue and gold mosaic collects the rainwater in its basin.
