"The Chapel - Designing a funeral chapel is not the everyday business of an architect. All the more curiosity and creative interest were triggered by the commission from a family in Styria to the Austrian-Finnish office BERGER+PARKKINEN."
"An inspiring, atypical, and particularly exciting task, also because it was a "building freed from compromising functions," as architect Alfred Berger found."
Designing a funeral chapel presented an uncommon commission for an architect. A family in Styria commissioned the Austrian-Finnish office BERGER+PARKKINEN for the project. The commission triggered curiosity and creative interest among the designers. The assignment proved inspiring, atypical, and particularly exciting. The chapel was considered a "building freed from compromising functions," enabling a focused architectural approach. The project represented a rare opportunity to pursue design priorities without competing programmatic demands. The unusual brief encouraged exploration of form and purpose within a single-purpose, ceremonial building.
