| dear designboom reader, serving as spaces for worship and contemplation, contemporary chapels are found on mountains, coastlines and other locations of unique natural beauty. on the coastal landscape of china's shanwei city, the ‘chapel of the jinting bay' emerges organically from the sand as a glowing, white beacon of light. on another waterfront location, this time in norway, the sjømannskirken chapel concept is composed of two thin, curved plates that are nested into each other. finally, on the top of a small hill in cuenca, in central spain, this private chapel takes the form of an origami-like artwork. thanks for reading! sofia lekka angelopoulou | senior editor |
