Philip Johnson's Thanksgiving Chapel (built in 1976) is a strange, beautiful white spiral of a building in Dallas, TX, featuring a spiral stained-glass ceiling that grows brighter as it reaches the center. [More:] Here's an odd aerial view of the building. A few more photos.
Gorgeous!!!

Very cool. I like his work a lot, even worked in one for a few years but never heard of this one.

I hadn't before today, either. Ran across it via a pic on Flickr. Now I really want to see it in real life.

What building of his did you work in?

PPG Place. Spent two years doing color matching support for PPG's paint and stain lines.

Next time I'm in Dallas I need to check that out.

I'm embarrassed I didn't even realize PPG was a Johnson building. I've seen that one (from the outside) in person, and it's very cool.

Philip Johnson is just so great. I would LOVE to stand in that chapel.
