ABOVE, TOP RIGHT AND RIGHT The Church of Theotokos Pammakaristos, built in
Constantinople about 900 years ago, informed the plan arrangement for the Memorial
Chapel. The interior shots show the view towards the apse (above) and the vertical
view from the apse towards the vaults (right). BELOW RIGHT Further inspiration
was drawn from the Church of the Holy Apostles in Thessaloniki, northern Greece,
built in the early 1300s. The interior shot is a vertical view to the barrel vaults.
BELOW An interior view of the Memorial Chapel today, looking from the antechapel
at the main entrance towards the altar, allows for an instructive comparison.
