MIT Chapel – Boston, USA

A non-denominational chapel designed by the architect Eero Saarinen completed in 1956.

The structure is a windowless brick cylinder set inside a very shallow concrete moat. The brick is supported by a series of low arches.

A full-height metal sculpture by Harry Bertoia glitters from the circular skylight down to a small, unadorned marble altar.
