Interesting. Always felt too that chapels are very underused—they have become monuments, or museums, or relics of the past. People observe them, but don’t use them to their own benefit. Whereas it is the only piece of architecture where the function is precisely to do nothing; nothing of the world’s ordinary affairs. Moreover: to be a refuge from it; to shut it out, and have quietude for thought, rest, reflection, contemplation.
