As part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Works Program Administration building projects, The Little Chapel in the Woods was constructed in Denton, Texas, towards the end of the Great Depression with the help of 300 students from the Texas State College for Women and young men of the National Youth Administration. Its simple configuration holds two surprises on the interior: innovative parabolic arches, inspired by the work of Felix Candela, and student designed and manufactured stained-glass windows that assert the right of women to their fair share in modern life. A series of evaluative essays place the Chapel in the international and regional context. Reproductions from the Alexander Architectural Archive at The University of Texas at Austin, School of Architecture, provide a detailed insight into the careful design of this much admired manifesto of a regional architecture by O\u2019Neil Ford and Arch Swank.<\/p>\n
Als Teil Franklin D. Roosevelts \u00f6ffentlichen Infrastrukturprogramm \u2013 dem WPA \u2013 wurde The Little Chapel in the Woods in Denton, Texas, am Ende der gro\u00dfen Wirtschaftskrise mit Hilfe von 300 Studentinnen der “Texas State College for Women” und jungen M\u00e4nnern der National Youth Administration errichtet. Der einfache Bauk\u00f6rper wartet im Inneren mit \u00dcberraschungen auf: innovative Parabolb\u00f6gen, inspiriert von Felix Candela, und von Studentinnen entworfenen und hergestellten Kirchenfenstern, die das Recht der Frauen an einem fairen Anteil am modernen Leben reklamieren. Eine Reihe von bewertenden Aufs\u00e4tzen stellt die Kapelle in einen international und regionalen Kontext. Reproduktionen aus dem Alexander Architectural Archive an der Architekturfakult\u00e4t der University of Texas at Austin geben einen detaillierten Einblick in den umsichtigen Entwurf dieses viel bewunderten Manifests einer regionalen Architektur von O\u2019Neil Ford und Arch Swank.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
