Chapel Ruhewald Schloss Tambach
Germany 2018
Ruhewald Schloss Tambach is embedded in the gently hilly landscape near the town of Coburg. The forest cemetery offers people to find their final resting place in the nature of the forest.
In its clear form, the chapel follows the proportions of the golden ratio according to the teachings of the "Vitruvian Man" by Leonardo da Vinci. It conveys simplicity and openness and offers visitors a protective cover. Seven wooden arches are rising upwards form the inner space.
The chapel “Ruhewald Schloss Tambach” fuses high concepts and sophisticated materials in its design, and yet it is a very gentle, welcoming building that perfectly suits its purpose: small-scaled enough to comfort the people who visit it, soaring enough in its form to evoke the divine.
