U.S. Air Force Academy Chapel

View of the main entrance to the main chapel at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. It really is a special building.

 

A Walter Netsch/ SOM project built in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from1956 to 1962. The chapel, in a cold temperate, rural campus area, is portrayed in an Expressionist Modern style. The chapel is interpreted to be massed like a phalanx of fighter jets shooting up into the sky. (www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Air_Force_Academy_Chapel...)
