The new chapel in Santuario Santa Teresa de Los Andes, Auco, Chile

比最初看到的更多。礼拜堂本身是一个木箱，由回收的铁路枕木建造，悬挂在上面的混凝土结构上。

The chapel is a modest square concrete structure...

...an arrangement of four intersecting concrete walls, raised up on blocks...

...signposted by a modest cross on a pole

The worship space is accessed by ramps that take visitors underground before they emerge in the closeted warmth of the chapel

The chapel is set alongside Auco's Carmelite Monastery...

...in the heart of the Valley of the Andes

The worship space is set within glass walls

The glass walls create the illusion of a room suspended in a void

The building itself is a wooden box, built from recycled railway sleepers and suspended from the concrete structure above it
