Christ Church & Upton Chapel, UK – John Peter Darvall - “The famous nostrils” After the destruction of the Christ Church and the Upton Chapel during the Second World War, designer Peter Darvall combined them to rebuild one multi-use structure; a melange of post-war architecture and modern glass commercial block. This concrete facade with its organically bent surface moving in, out, up, and down, is an original and modern architectural touch for a spiritual building. Named after a number of curious titles, “The famous nostrils”, “Gaudi’s reflection”, “wrinkled skin and noses” or “3d wallpaper effect”, the facade keeps surprising visitors and leaving them with imaginative interpretations. #silkenme #silken #silk #inspo #silkenmeinspo #drapery #oiloncanvas #art #artinspo #arhitecture #christchurch #uptonchapel #johnpeterdarvall #thefamousnostrils #concrete #gaudi #peterdarvall #organic https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck28K1FOoLQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
