Branches

Fay Jones – Thorncrown’s architect – was a genius: look at how the structure mimics the tree branches, and how the light falls into the building the same way it falls on the forest floor.

My favorite part of the chapel was the way the window design blurred the boundaries between inside and outside, making sitting in a pew in the chapel feel like sitting on a log in the woods.
