Nestled in the city center, just outside the Downtown Mall, this chapel acts as a communal gathering space for contemplation and discussion untethered to academic or religious institutions. Inspired by planetary orbits and snail shells, the double spiral encourages rhythmic movement towards the center of the structure.
