Photo Of The Day : The Air Force Academy Chapel, USA


Today on photo of the day, we take a trip to the USA and bless our eyes with amazing photos of the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel. This magnificent structure, completed in 1962, is the distinguishing feature of the Cadet Area at the United States Air Force Academy north of Colorado Springs. It was designed by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago. Construction was accomplished by Robert E. McKee, Inc., of Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

Below are some photos


Let's take a look at the interior.


Originally controversial in its design, the Cadet Chapel has become a classic and highly regarded example of modernist architecture. The Cadet Chapel was awarded the American Institute of Architects' National Twenty-five Year Award in 1996 and, as part of the Cadet Area, was named a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2004.

Take me to the Air Force Academy Chapel somebody!
