INSPIRING FEAST
SIR: As usual, your ar+d issue (AR December 2004) was an inspiring feast, with some courses more delicious than others. I was very impressed with the delightful chapel at La Calera in Colombia, in which after all these years after Archigram, we finally see a building that moves and transforms itself. What a strange, unexpected place to find such a thing. But how does it work?
Yours etc

The movable part of the nave is a braced steel frame that can be pushed by the congregation into whatever configuration is needed. The Editors
