Make that non-religious stance. "The final 'Chapel' is simply a place for a person to sit, relax and reflect in a pleasant space overlooking the ocean." As does a pavillion, gazebo or bench. In the end, yeahno is right. What makes it a "chapel" besides calling it so? Non-denominational stance? Make that non-religious stance.

I never considered OSB as attractive, but it works well, especially in this location. I wonder if there is a moisture resistant version? It is beautiful.

The concept for the pavilion involved the exploration of spatial concepts relating to religious typologies from the Western and Eastern cultures that have shaped Istanbul. This was in response to the event theme of ‘Bridging Cultures’.' The initial design for the MEDS workshop was of a Chapel that was situated in Istanbul itself. Upon arrival to Istanbul arrangements changed, as they do, and we had to choose the final coastal location. Whlst we experienced Istanbul, including visits to the Haggia Sophia + Blue Mosque, the project direction was altered to a non-denominational stance. The final 'Chapel' is simply a place for a person to sit, relax and reflect in a pleasant space overlooking the ocean. Regards, Paul This is an excerpt from the above article:
