This striking chapel by London-based firm Steyn Studio and local TV3 Architects is located on the Bosjes Farm in the Witzenberg Municipality in the Western Cape Province in South Africa. It features a white, sculptural cast iron roof that undulates with parabolic and hyperbolic arches, which also form the supporting walls and columns of the structure.

Besides the massive roof, which was inspired in part by Cape Dutch architecture, the Bosjes Chapel’s other striking feature is its entirely glazed walls, which imbue the 420-square-meter (approximately 4,500-square-foot) space with a profound feeling of lightness. The windows and the lifting corners of the roof open up the chapel to the surrounding landscape of the Waaihoek Mountains as well as to a reflecting pool that leads to the entrance.

The structure’s design was also inspired by a passage from the Bible, from Psalm 36:7, which reads, “How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.” These wings manifest in the roof’s baroque holbol gables (a feature of South African colonial architecture), which form peaks and valleys within the roof itself.

The chapel is placed on a stepped platform amid vineyards and a pomegranate orchard, and inside, the white ceilings and polished terrazzo floors create a spare interior scheme of wooden benches and a brass podium. Take a look.

My name is Sabrina Wanjiku Simader. As the first African downhill skier who is
competing at the World Cup, it is my relentless ambition to be amongst the best
in the world. My Kenyan roots and my new homeland in the snowy Austrian Alps, represent a unique combination in international winter sport.

At the age of three, I emigrated to Austria with my mother to live in the village of St. Johann am Wimberg in Upper Austria. In my first winter in Austria I was taught to ski by my stepfather on a hill called Hansberg. Even as a little girl I was fascinated by the white, sparkling texture of snow and the wonderful feeling of freedom when shooting down the slopes.

In my first junior competition in which I participated, all the other girls in my age category were faster than me. This only fed my ambition to improve and to win competitions. I took to heart my dad’s inspirational assurances that “Winning is not as important as the passion and the joy of competing”. With this in mind it did not take long before I won my first club championship encouraging me to dream bigger and aim higher. In the winter of 2012 I achieved my first big success by becoming triple Styrian Champion.

My dad took great pride in my success and dedicated his time and efforts to train and support me in all my racing events. He spent many hours preparing my skis to ensure their optimal condition and to maximise their efficiency for every race. In June 2012 I lost my greatest fan and supporter with his untimely passing, making life very difficult for my mother and me.

I managed to find a new skiing coach in the form of Christian Reif, who was a long standing friend of the family and formerly Austrian Ski Team Trainer. I am very glad to cooperate with someone who I can trust. Christian is not only trainer, he is also technician as well as team organiser of our Kenyan National Ski Team.

Since January 2016 I have further benefitted by the support of the company Globallife (Medical Brain & Body Management Coaching). I am still on my way and my performances are getting better and better.

Nasir Yammama is a 26-year-old, northern Nigerian with a knack for technology. Nasir was raised as a farmer’s child and most of his siblings are still active farmers. Once Nasir became old enough he ventured out from the fields and into Institute and Creative Technology at Middlesex University, London. This is where he began his technology interest which would later develop into something very distinct and close to home.

Nasir increased his knowledge by attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, and it was here that he learned how to become a quality problem solver through science and technology. With such humble beginnings on a farm with his family, it was an obvious decision that Nasir would focus his talents on developing a technological aid to farmers and their productivity.

Nasir developed the company Verdant. Verdant is an AgriTech value chain company that offers solutions to support farmers and other stakeholders for improved food production using novel technologies. They aim at providing agricultural extension market information, managerial support, and access to markets & financial services to rural farmers with unique mobile technologies. For farmers in Nigeria, this technology is game-changing. It offers them a way to receive the most productivity out of their land and resources. Many farmers who are more skeptical about relying on technological sources for their products seem to lack the full potential that their crops could produce.

Using their access to scientific data and a partnership with financial institutions and even governments, Verdant intends to turn information into insights for the farmers and present it to them in a convenient manner that will enable precise decision making on the farm and also offer them unique services like access to market, agricultural credit, index insurance and warehousing so as to get more productivity and value out of their farming and thereby guarantee food security and improve living standards.
