But as cheap Miesian knockoffs go, the Chapel of Apparitions at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fátima (pictured) seems somewhat lacking to me. I mean, contrast the Chapel of Apparitions with the main Basilica. Now, even the main basilica is a little gaudy in my opinion, especially those enormous renderings of the peasant children who received the apparition. But at least there's some attempt to make the structure other-worldly. But to actually enclose the place where they received the apparition in a Miesian structure strikes me as somewhat less than reverent. am I wrong?
