One of my favorites ❤️

Eero Saarinen’s MIT Chapel, completed in 1955, is a masterclass in blending simplicity with profound spatial experience. Saarinen’s circular brick structure is unadorned on the outside, yet inside, it reveals a serene play of light. The skylight above the altar allows natural light to cascade onto a suspended metal sculpture, creating a dramatic, almost spiritual atmosphere. This minimalist approach highlights Saarinen’s ability to craft spaces that evoke emotion through material and light, making the MIT Chapel one of the most distinctive modern sacred spaces.

Dwight is currently the Vice President of American Institute of Architects Huron Valley chapter, and hosted the 22nd annual awards ceremony last Thursday! It was a huge amount of work to put the event together, but had lots of help from President Sara Davis and Past President Jason Ennis. Lots of incredible winners this year!

Today would have been my grandfather Harry Goodhue’s 117th Birthday- can’t believe he’s been gone 25 years now... he designed his “Riverhouse” on the AuSable River, in 1957, and it’s what inspired me to become an architect - such a cool place 😎 @ Grayling, Michigan
