The Cathedral of Hope Interfaith Peace Chapel is world-renowned architect Philip Johnson's last building. Enjoying an amazingly long and celebrated career, Johnson died less than three months after completing the chapel's design sketches at the age of ninety-nine. The final design details and project documentation were developed in joint-venture by Johnson's firm Philip Johnson Alan Ritchie Architects, award winning architect-of-record Cunningham Architects, and the Design Team from the Cathedral of Hope. Constructors & Associates, Dallas, has been selected as general contractor.
"building Peace" is my blog documenting the design and construction of Philip Johnson's last design. You can find it here: http://web.me.com/michaelnelson/buildingPeace/building_Peace.html
Violence, misunderstanding, hatred, injustice, lack of trust and cooperation--all of these seem such an ongoing malaise of our "geitzeit." I am so grateful to see Cathedral of Hope building a place for peace and understanding. We have more in common than not as human beings. This is the World's Peace Chapel.
