| L'United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) située au nord de Colorado Springs est la plus récente de 5 académies formant les officiers de l'US Air Force. Située dans la Cadet Area, la Cadet Chapel (datant de 1962) est d'une architecture moderne composées de 17 flèches. Elle peut se visiter mais pas durant les offices ! The structure consists of 100 identical aluminum tetrahedrons, with colored glass in the spaces between the tetrahedrons. The chapel reaches a height of 150 feet, with an overall length of 280 feet and a width of 84 feet. Architect Walter Netsch said he was inspired in his design by the Sainte-Chapelle cathedral in Paris, the Cathedral of Chartres and the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi in Italy. The Cadet Chapel is built on two levels. The upstairs portion houses a 1,300 seat multi-denomination Protestant chapel; downstairs are a 500-seat Catholic chapel, a 100-seat Jewish chapel and interfaith rooms used for services of other religions. |
