Design blog Dezeen has featured an article on the Bishop Edward King Chapel. It highlights the project as one of those to recently win an RIBA Award and includes a link to the practice’s House at Goleen project, previously reviewed on the on-line design magazine in October 2012. The article for the Chapel includes a full project description, together with a large selection of images and drawings.
Architecture critic Rowan Moore has written a review of the Bishop Edward King Chapel with the title “The Answers to their Prayers” that was published in the Observer Magazine. The article touches on the broader themes of the interpretation and appropriation of religious symbolism in architecture, and in this context praises the paradoxical nature of the chapel; “It is…heavy and light, a bastion and a boat, a wall and a drape. It has presence, but doesn’t dominate.” Describing the form and materiality of the building Moore writes, “The building is crafted and considered: it makes ideas physical: it has intentions and carries them out in its space and matter.”
