1952

I came across the Chapel of Saint Savior / Robert F. Carr Chapel by Mies Van Der Rohe and was immediately struck by its simple facade. Currently in history we are learning about the Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals of the middle ages, so it's very interesting to see a completely different concept for a church. As a matter of fact, churches in general are usually more decorated in a specific style. I would be very interested in exploring a new perspective on the design of a religious building. It is located on the campus of the Illinois Institute of technology in Chicago, Illinois.
