EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the serene beauty of the Chapel of Resurrection, designed by renowned Finnish architect Erik Bryggman and inaugurated in 1941. The chapel, located in Helsinki, Finland, is a masterpiece of modernist architecture and a testament to Bryggman's innovative design sensibilities. Bryggman, who studied under the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalto, was known for his minimalist and functionalist approach to design. The Chapel of Resurrection is no exception. The building's simple, geometric forms are accentuated by the stark contrast between the light and shadow created by the play of natural light through its large windows. The use of natural materials such as wood and concrete adds to the chapel's organic feel, creating a sense of harmony between the building and its natural surroundings. The Chapel of Resurrection was built to serve as a memorial chapel for the Finnish Defense Forces. Its name reflects the architect's belief in the transformative power of death and resurrection, a theme that is reflected in the chapel's design. The building's central feature is a large cross, which rises up from the center of the chapel, symbolizing the hope and renewal that comes with the resurrection. Despite its modernist design, the Chapel of Resurrection remains a popular destination for visitors to Helsinki, who are drawn to its peaceful and contemplative atmosphere. The photograph captures the chapel in all its glory, offering a glimpse into the beauty and serenity that lies within its walls.
