3. The Soaring Bridal Veil
Johannes Knoops
Architectural designer
Translucent panels, like the train of a wedding dress, weave from the “Civic Fame” statue at the top of the building through the existing architecture to the new chapel located on the roof (below). The light passing through the panels envelops the room in a diffuse glow, while Knoops’s chapel commands a majestic view of the skyline (left).
